Final Call for Abstracts – Responsible Development in a Polycentric World

As the year 2013 comes to an end, preparations for the 14th EADI General Conference in June 2014 are in full swing: more than 40 institutions will present Panels during the conference and 21 EADI Working Groups have published Calls for Papers. Just before everyone takes their well-deserved breaks, we would once again like to point out that the deadline for the submission of abstracts to the Calls for Papers will end on December 15th.

If you are  researcher and your work is evolving around one of the many topics of the EADI Working Groups, we strongly encourage you to upload your abstract as soon as possible. For uploading your abstract, please follow these five easy steps:

  • Write an abstract of approximately 500 words that represents your research.
  • Check the Calls for Papers on www.gc2014.org and select a Working Group which suits your research topic best.
  • Register at www.conftool.com/gc2014
  • Choose the suitable EADI Working Groups for your topic.
  • Upload your paper.All submissions will be reviewed and authors will be notified in early 2014 on whether their abstract has been accepted for the EADI General Conference.

Furthermore, the conference team is excited to announce that the registration for the conference will open in January 2014. If you wish to pay the lower participation fee, you might want to give yourself a little holiday present and are cordially invited to join EADI  as a member for the upcoming year(s). Members enjoy the advantage of paying a reduced conference fee and (as a matter of course) various other benefits. For more information, you can check http://www.eadi.org/navigation/membership.html.
