Paper Submission
Contributions may take the form of a paper, a panel, or a poster. Please indicate your choice of presentation in the registration form. Abstracts should be in English and approximately 500 words in length (but no less than 300 or more than 600 words). A book of abstracts will be provided to all participants. Contributions themselves can be in English, German or French.
A Paper should be limited to 20 minutes, after which 10 minutes will be allotted for discussion. Papers with similar topics will be grouped into panels by the organizers.
A Panel is a coordinated set of papers (usually 3 or 4 in number), all dealing with a particular topic or issue. The person submitting the panel proposal must be willing to act as the panel coordinator and ensure that all proposed paper presenters commit to attending the conference. Please note that panel proposals require an abstract identifying and justifying the theme of the panel as well as a full abstract for each panel paper.
A Poster presentation is an alternative to presenting a full research paper. Please indicate if you prefer this form of presentation. A poster is an opportunity to display information about completed or ongoing research. Young researchers in particular are invited to share work-in-progress by means of a poster. Posters will be displayed through the duration of the conference, but also a designated session will be scheduled in which participants can meet with authors to discuss their work (Monday).
Paper, panel and poster abstracts must be submitted as word-document (.doc) by email:
