2. Proposals for Sessions

Focus Sessions

A number of focus sessions will be arranged during the ERSA conference. The aim of focus sessions is to concentrate on the specific topics of a general interest.

The proposals for focus sessions may be submitted at any time before the general submission deadline for conference papers. ERSA SC (Steering Committee) considers the proposals in the order they have been made. It is expected that the focus session will have at least accepted papers (In some cases the ERSA SC may make an exception and accept a focus session with a smaller number of papers.) This is the responsibility of the focus session organizers to have a sufficient number of submissions and accepted papers. ERSA PC (Program Committee) will review the focus session papers and is responsible for the quality of focus session. The ERSA conference reserves the right to restructure the focus sessions. Papers of focus sessions may be of all categories. Focus session organizers will participate in the final selection of papers for the focus session. All papers of focus sessions will be published in ERSA Proceedings.

Focus session proposal should include:

Brief description of the focus session

An introduction, a list of topics of the focus session, and the importance to the ERSA audience.
A short description (bio) of the focus session organizers.


List of possible participants

A list of possible participants, it is expected that the focus session organizers take a contact with potential participants in advance to submitting the proposal.
