General description
The Student Association for International Relations Globallis, in partnership with the Chair and Centre for International Relations (IR) at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana (FSS UL), is organizing its 3rd Student Conference on International Relations. The international conference will be held during Europe Week, on the 4th and 5th May 2023 at FSS in Ljubljana and the organizers cordially invite Doctoral students from the wider IR field to participate in the PhD activities, which will be co-organized with the help of CEEISA Doctoral Network.
With the organization of this section, we want to allow doctoral students to present their scientific research to experts and colleagues working in the field of IR, get a closer look at the publishing industry and obtain constructive comments and recommendations on their research. Next to participating in the student conference (general information on SCIR can be found here & the main call can be found here), where doctoral students will be able to present their work in conference panels, the PhD section of the conference will also include a workshop on academic publishing and a doctoral networking event. In this way, the student conference hopes to allow doctoral students to present their research work in the wider field of IR, improve their review skills, and meet other doctoral students working in the region working on related cases and research topics. If interested, doctoral students can also serve as discussants on main conference panels.
Format
The number of participants will be limited. The authors of the selected abstracts will be required to submit a paper two weeks before the event. The papers will be circulated to the panel participants and discussants. The participants will be expected to read all papers from their panel and serve as commentators. This format is designed to stimulate in-depth discussions, provide students with valuable feedback, and let participants get acquainted in an informal setting.
Submission of proposals
Short abstracts (maximum 300 words), along with the working title and a short biography (maximum one paragraph), should be submitted no later than February 13th, 2023, to melika.mahmutovic@fdv.uni-lj.si.
Fees and travel allowance
There is no registration fee, with some limited funding possibly being available to secure in-person attendance of doctoral students in need. For that reason, we kindly ask that authors indicate in the submission form if they believe the might require funding to attend the Conference and the Conveners will do their best to accommodate these requests.
