The Annual Conference is a forum for the discussion of current research. It brings together junior and senior political scientists from Austria and beyond. This year the theme of the conference is Pushing Back Against the Enemies of Democracy.
This being a general conference, papers and panels are not limited to the theme of the conference. All submissions will be considered.
Abstracts for papers should be between 150 and 300 words. The abstract should provide information on the topic, research question, theory, methodology, the contribution the paper seeks to make, and (expected) findings. To enable an intensive exchange in the panels, we ask for submissions that go beyond pure project descriptions.
It is also possible to submit entire panels (4-5 papers). When preparing a panel, please make sure that all paper givers are committed to attending the conference, that the abstracts follow the conference guidelines, and that the composition of the panel is diverse. Please note that participants should not submit more than two papers (either as author or co-author).
The primary conference language is English; contributions in German are welcome but might need to be allocated to an English-speaking panel.
Upon acceptance, submissions will be thematically structured and assigned to panels by a program committee made up of representatives from CEU and other Austrian political science departments.
The conference opens with a public event on Thursday, November 28 (after the General Assembly of the ÖGPW).
Panel sessions are scheduled for Friday, November 29.
