T
he ECPR Joint Sessions of Workshops have taken place annually for the last 35 years and is now one of the major events in European political science, with 500–700 people participating each year. Workshops are designed to be a forum for substantive discussion on research in progress and collaboration among scholars. The workshops are gatherings of approximately 15–20 participants from different institutions, lasting about 5 days. The topics of discussion are precisely defined, and only those scholars currently working in the workshop’s field are invited. The main aim of the workshops is to produce a feeling of participation and of equality of endeavour between advanced students, younger members of the profession and well-established professors. Each participant presents a paper or research document for discussion as well as taking part in the discussion of the other papers presented. It is hoped that some of these workshops will lead to the creation of permanent research groups and standing groups as well as to continuing collaboration between members. Workshop proposals should cover the following points: Outline of the topic: Explain why there is a need for a workshop on the subject, bearing in mind that the topic should not have been covered by
another workshop during the past 2 years. Relation to existing research: Explain how the workshop topic relates to existing research/publications in the area. Participants: Indicate who the likely participants are to be. Note that all workshops should be open rather than confined to an existing closed group of specialists. Type of paper: Try to indicate the type of paper you wish to attract, for example empirical, case study, comparative, theory. Funding: Give an indication of foundations or research councils to which you would apply for funding the workshop. Note that workshop directors are strongly urged to seek such financial support before depending on hardpressed ECPR funds. Biographical note: Please outline (in 60–80 words) your current research interests, most recent publications, academic affiliation and status.
Deadline for proposals: Proposals should be submitted to the ECPR Central Services. Proposals are considered by the ECPR’s Executive Committee at its meeting during the Joint Sessions in the year preceding. Proposers will be informed whether their workshop has been accepted for european political science: 5 2006
