Call for panels now open

We invite the public administration and political science community in the Netherlands, Flanders, and abroad to contribute to the NIG 2024/2025 Annual Work Conference by submitting proposals for panels.

The deadline for submission is July 31st, 2024.

Panel proposal topics and requirements
We welcome cutting edge panels on key themes and research areas in the disciplines of public administration and political science.
Panel proposals have to meet the following requirements:

• A description of the proposed theme for the panel (max. 1000 words in English)
• A short summary of the panel for the program booklet (max. 100 words)
• The type of papers (and topics) you expect to be submitted to your panel (max. 300 words)
• There should be at least two organisers from two different institutions for a panel. We especially encourage early career scholars to apply! The proposal should mention the names, affiliations and address information. Mention all organisers in the proposal.

Please use the Panel Proposal Form at the bottom of this page to submit your Panel Proposal.

Panel proposals will have to attract at least four papers to be eligible for a session on their own.
Please be aware that, since the NIG conference has grown a lot in the past four years, we cannot take preferences for timeslots into account. Once the panel is accepted and the number of papers is clear, the organization will allocate the timeslot(s) to your panel. 
NIG will advertise your proposals, and you should also actively invite authors yourself. Please consult the NIG office before inviting non-NIG members. 

Evaluation of the proposals
Panel proposals will be evaluated by the NIG management. Accepted proposals will be coordinated by the chairs/moderaters of the panel.
