The average time allotted for a paper or presentation will be 15 minutes. Also, please include any unusual equipment needs or special considerations that might affect your presentation. Individual paper and presentation proposals should be no more than 250 words. Panels will generally include three or four papers or presentations. For panel proposals, the session organizer should submit a 150-250 word statement describing the panel topic, including abstracts of up to 250 words for each paper or presentation in the panel.
Graduate students are highly encouraged to submit proposals.
They should note their student status with their submissions, and, if they wish, submit completed papers by the March 2 deadline so their work can be considered for a special Student Award. The winner of the Student Award will have conference fees waived. Conference organizers are working to ensure that IR 2.0 is affordable for graduate students, and indeed, for all attendees. We also invite proposals for pre-Conference workshops. It is preferred that you use HTML to minimally format your submission.
