The ECPR's general conference took place for the fourth time in Pisa, Italy in September 2007.
The first conference took place in Canterbury, UK in 2001. Further conferences have been held at
the following venues:
Marburg 2003
Budapest 2005
Pisa 2007
Potsdam 2009
Reykjavik 2011
The 5th ECPR General Conference is now over.
The academic programme takes the standard conference format of sections, which have within them
between 4 and 10 panels. These sections are organized around a common theme and major research questions.
Sections are not workshops. Rather, they provide the opportunity to present recent research to a larger
audience and to expose it to the criticism, suggestions, and support of peers. The purpose of the conference
is to further scientific discussion and research across all national scientific communities and across all
areas of political science.
In addition to sections and panels, there are round tables, symposia, a plenary lecture and an interesting
social programme.
