The submission system is now open – please read this page before clicking on the “Submit a proposal” button below.

To aid in the review process and scheduling, we will group papers into streams. When submitting your paper, panel, or roundtable proposals, please assign it to the stream that best fits the disciplinary or regional focus of your submission.

• Ukrainian Studies
• Geography
• Media Studies
• Film Studies
• Literature
• Cultural Studies
• Comparative Politics
• International Relations and Foreign Policy

Individual Paper
We will consider proposals for individual papers that are not associated with a panel. They will be reviewed by the relevant stream organiser. If you are not part of an organised panel, do not attach your abstract to a panel. The Organising Committee will create panels on coherent themes from the individual paper submissions.

Abstracts to be included in an organised panel should also be submitted through this process. The author of each abstract should submit their abstract after the panel has been created and assign it to the appropriate panel.

Panel
A panel involves the presentation of prepared papers on a related topic, followed by structured discussion of those papers and Q&A. A panel proposal should have a Chair, a minimum of 3 to maximum of 4 papers. It can have a discussant, but this is not obligatory. The chair may serve also as a discussant or a paper presenter.

After the panel has been created, the individual paper presenters should submit their own abstract for inclusion in the panel

Roundtable
Roundtables involve the structured discussion of a topic/theme, without the presentation of papers. A roundtable proposal should have a Chair; and minimum of 3 to maximum of 5 roundtable speakers. Roundtable speakers will not present a “paper”, i.e. there will be no paper titles in the programme. The chair may serve also as a roundtable speaker, if necessary.

If you have not used the system before you will first be asked to create an account with your password. You can then come back to the system and change your abstract at any time up to the deadline for abstract submissions, which is midnight (UTC) 30 November 2024.

Abstracts should be not more than 3000 characters. Abstracts can be typed directly into the submission system, but if you copy and paste to submit your abstract from, for example, MS Word, ensure that you remove all formatting instructions.

Each participant can give a maximum of two presentations, but only one full paper, i.e. participating in one panel and/or in one roundtable. Participants can act as a chair in more than two panels/roundtables.
