ISSR Conference: The Call For Papers is now open
As you know the ISSR conference, 12-15 July 2021 will be a fully digital conference.
The call for sessions is now closed. You can access the list of sessions at https://conference-system.sisr-issr.org/sessions/
We now open the call for papers, which will run until 28 February 2021.
You may have a look at the list of sessions, names of convener(s), and abstracts for each of the sessions, and decide to which one you would like to submit your paper. Propose a paper by using this link: https://conference-system.sisr-issr.org/conferences/conference-2021/#papers
The proposal (title and abstract up to 250 words) should be only in one language – English or French – in which you would like to present your paper.
Please note our team has many commitments in addition to our work in the SISR-ISSR. The influx of members contacting us in the final week of the Call to request help accessing their account and/or renewing their membership subscriptions put serious pressure on our team to manage our commitments. We therefore request that you ensure that you can access the website so that you can submit your paper proposal smoothly and without risk of rejection due to late submission.
(see FAQ for difficulties: https://www.sisr-issr.org/en/contact/faq)
Important:
You need to be an ISSR member, or renew your membership to submit a proposal (see Note on Membership, below). To renew your membership, please visit https://www.sisr-issr.org/index.php?option=com_osmembership&view=plans&id=1&Itemid=630&lang=en.
This year, due to the special conditions of an online conference, you will be asked to register as a member or renew your membership before 1 March 2021 to confirm your submission. Furthermore, in order to remain in the final programme, you will have to pay the conference fee (which is substantially reduced this year) by 1 June 2021.
Note on Membership

No matter which date you have paid your membership, it starts on the 1st January of the year following an ISSR conference and ends on 31 December of the year of the next conference.
