Panel proposals must be written in English and should be submitted electronically by the panel organizer(s). Submission opens on May 1, 2020; the deadline for submission is August 1, 2020.

Panels at ICLaVE|11 will have a duration of 3.5 hours, which amounts to 7 slots total (=including introduction and/or discussion session). One slot is 30 minutes (=20min presentation +10min discussion), in order to allow conference participants to switch between sessions.

Panel proposals should include:
– A general overview text of no more than 500 words, including the topic and how it relates to the conference theme, key questions, the rationale for the panel, and its aims and objectives
– Some information on paper ordering, featuring a list of contributors (name, affiliation, email address) and any discussant/s
– Full abstracts of the contributions, including information on the subject, methodology and theoretical framework(s) (max. 400 words per abstract, excluding title and references).

Panel organizers should:
– Coordinate the submission of individual abstracts by contributors before the deadline (max. 400 words each, excluding title and references)
– Submit the proposal by August 1, 2020 and confirm that all invited contributors have agreed to participate
– Communicate the decision of acceptance/rejection of the panel to the contributors
– Act as mediators between the contributors and the Conference Organizing Committee
– Submit an updated version of the abstracts and panel description by March 1, 2021.
– Collect papers, presentations and/or data samples for the panel in advance of the conference, and circulate these among all panel contributors
– Chair their panel at the conference

Panel proposals will be reviewed by the organizing committee. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out October 1, 2020.

Authors may submit two abstracts in total to the conference, if at least one paper is co-authored. (No two submissions by the same author in the same panel.)
