Guidelines for submission
For PhD students: submitted papers should be classified according to the stage of development. These stages are:
• Exploratory papers that address the work that is likely to be carried out in the future. These should be based on a significant literature review, and are likely to come from students who are about to or have recently completed their first year.
• Development papers that are based on evidence and are at a stage where they may form a significant part of a thesis.
• Full papers that form a substantial part of a thesis that has been submitted or is near to completion.
At least two prizes, funded by the supporting institutes and universities and by ECIIA, will be offered. These will include one for the best PhD paper presented, one to encourage a
promising young researcher, and one awarded by ECIIA for a paper that addresses European issues. A panel of academics and practitioners and will judge the prizes.
For all papers:
All abstracts will be blind reviewed as they are received, on a rolling basis, to assure you of a rapid decision to facilitate your funding and travel arrangements. The absolute deadline for receipt of submissions is 30th January 2009. Full versions of papers are required by no later than 13th March 2009. Please send abstracts and requests for information to
