Call for Track Proposals

We are kindly inviting you to submit your track proposals to help shape the agenda for EURAM 2008.

Following the innovation introduced last year, which contributed to the academic content and attraction of new scholars, we will again have the EURAM 2008 Conference Scientific Committee, whose task will be to evaluate submitted proposals and select the tracks.

The role of a track chair for EURAM 2008 will be the following:

• Propose a track theme likely to attract enough participation
• Encourage submissions of materials already prepared or under development
• Submit to the Scientific Committee a list of 5 to 10 reviewers (in addition to the track chairs) who will commit to review the submitted papers. The Scientific Committee and organizers (the names to be confirmed soon) will provide a synthetic Evaluation Form to the Track Chairs.
• Provide to each submitted paper two written evaluations from the reviewers (at least using the Evaluation Form but even more detailed reviews are appreciated by the authors).
• In agreement with the Scientific Committee, send acceptance letters to authors.
• Respect the deadlines and enforce them vis-a-vis track members:
  7 September 2007: Track Proposal Submission
  21 September 2007: Selection of Tracks by Scientific Committee
  21 September 2007 : Announcement of tracks & start of paper submission
  27 January 2008: Deadline for paper submission to tracks
  22 February 2008: Notification of acceptance
  07 March 2008: Early-bird registration
  

Please note: Due to intense activity in Slovenia in May 2008, the deadlines are fixed as to enable the participants to book their hotels and organizers to set up the conference.

Please describe the proposed track in 500 words maximum. Include your name, institution, e-mail address, telephone numbers, research field, and your two most significant publications related to the proposed topic. Indicate 4 key words that capture the essence of your proposal. As conference chairs, our preference goes to tracks proposed by two or three organizers originating from different countries and institutions. Please provide the requested information for each co-organizer.

The deadline for proposals is 7 September 2007.

Please, send your track proposal by e-mail to the EURAM 2008 Scientific Committee at euram@iedc.si
