2) Call for proposals for two Young Researchers Workshops.With 'Young Researchers Workshops (YRW)' the Standing Group of International Relations (SGIR) of the ECPR offers an opportunity for young scholars (advanced doctoral students and recent post-docs) to familiarize themselves with academic conferencing. The workshop scheme seeks to advance networking, publication and academic discussion among young researchers. Towards that end, the SGIR offers an award of up to 7.500 EURO per workshop (approx. 10-12 participants) which should cover travel of all the participants and accommodation for some. The workshops either precede or follow the seventh Pan-European Conference on International Relations in Stockholm on 9-11 September 2010. Besides substantial criteria, preference will be given to applications which seek a relatively balanced participation from all parts of Europe.SGIR welcomes workshop proposals on any topic of relevance to current research in International Relations. A workshop proposal includes:1. a 800 word summary which outlines the scientific relevance of the topic; and 2. a list of some potential participants and paper titles (up to 8 ) beyond the workshop convener(s). The YRW committee consisting of Élise Féron, Stefano Guzzini, Helena Rytövuori-Apunen, Antje Wiener, and Bernhard Zangl will accept full proposals until 15 September 2009. Successful workshop convenor(s) will be notified so that they can prepare a call for papers with a deadline of 31 January 2010.All proposal should be submitted on: http://www.sgir.eu/conference/
