4th Annual General Conference of the European Political Science Association
-
June 19-21 2014
Edinburgh, Scotland
Submission: http://conference.epsanet.org
Proposal Submission Deadline: December 13, 2014
The fourth annual conference of the European Political Science
Association will take place from June 19-21 2014 at the Royal Society
of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. We
expect about 600-700 participants from all over the world to attend
the Edinburgh conference, in which cutting-edge research is paired
with excellent networking opportunities in a great environment. This
site for the conference is consistent with EPSA’s policy of holding
the Annual General Meeting in unique, central, and interesting venues.
We are expecting upwards of 700 participants from all over the world
to attend the Edinburgh conference. You can expect that the EPSA 2014
meeting will maintain its commitment to featuring cutting-edge
research paired with excellent networking opportunities in a great
urban setting.
Our previous three conferences in Dublin, Berlin, and Barcelona were
highly successful. In fact from a post-conference survey of delegates
who attended the Barcelona conference, the overall satisfaction score
was an outstanding 8.2 of 10 (n=207).
Conference proposals are organised slightly differently this year from
previous years, using "categories" instead of sections. We have a
total of 18 categories that are not mutually exclusive. By indicating
which areas apply to your proposal, you will aid the programme
committee in assigning you to an appropriate category expert to form
panels with similar papers. This will have the same effect as the
traditional "sections" but we hope that this year it will make it
easier to find the best fit for every good proposal. EPSA also invites
proposals to attend as a panel chair or discussant, which can be
submitted separately at http://conference.epsanet.org using the same
set of categories.
This year we are also placing a renewed emphasis on making partners
welcome, with a variety of amazing social events before, during, and
following the conference. These will include whisky tastings, a castle
barbecue, a golf tournament, a massive Friday night party with music,
and tours of the old city. (Check out the photo albums on the EPSA
Facebook page.) This is not a conference you will want to miss!
The capital of Scotland, Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful and
charming cities in Europe. With its magnificent architecture and
stunning skyline, Edinburgh combines history and culture in a vibrant
atmosphere, offering opportunities for conference participants to
enjoy a wide range of fantastic attractions. Our venue lies in the
centre of the city in the beautiful Georgian "New Town", just a few
minutes walk from the river and the looming Edinburgh Castle and the
famous Royal Mile. A city of contrasts, Edinburgh juxtaposes
traditional pubs, modern world cuisine, and hip coffee shops, age old
skills and crafts on display in specialist shops with major fashion
stores.
EPSA employs a policy of non-discrimination and therefore does not
have panels for graduate students only. In the spirit of this equal
participation policy, however, all attendees face the same
registration fees, although registration will be discounted for EPSA
members. (EPSA may be joined from the EPSA webpage, see
