Call for Special Session Proposals

Extended Deadline: 15 January 2023

The ERSA2023 Congress will feature exciting keynotes, roundtables and a series of Special Sessions.
The Organising Committee team invites and welcomes proposals for Special Sessions.
Special Sessions must be related to the congress theme or especially hot topics within the congress scope. We ask you to take note of the procedure and guidelines regarding Special Sessions at ERSA2023.

Procedure and Guidelines

What do we offer?
Special Sessions are a label of quality in the ERSA congress and we accommodate for this in several ways:

We aim to allow 20-25 minutes for each presentation slot in a Special Session
Each presentation in a Special Session will be assigned a discussant

What do we ask?

Each Special Session has a minimum of 4 registered presenters
Presenters can apply for a special session on the basis of a (draft) Paper or an extended abstract
Accepted Presentations are based on a (draft) paper that has been uploaded on the ERSA2023 submission portal.

If a special session does not meet the conditions, the presentations will be included in an ordinary session or a refereed session.

How to submit a proposal?

Note: in addition to contact information of the primary convenor, names of any co-convenors, the title, and description of the Special Session, we also ask you to list four interested presenters in your submission form.
