The 2016 ECPR Research Sessions will take place at Radboud University Nijmegen, from 28 June – 1 July 2016.

The Research Sessions offers established collaborative groups the opportunity to step away from their hectic work schedules and focus on commencing, or completing, their research in an environment conducive to concentrated discussion.

The proposal, which should be no longer than 3000 words, should specify the research question and locate it within the relevant scientific debate and theories. It should include:

the guiding hypothesis;
the main ‘message’ or the major and innovative contribution that the research group wants to make;
methodology;
data;
research steps;
milestones;
a rough publication plan; and
a list of members.

The deadline is 23 February 2016. For more information on criteria for groups and proposals please see our website. To submit your proposal, click here. For any further questions please email researchsessions@ecpr.eu
