European Consortium for Political Research
The Joint Sessions of Workshops have been hosted annually in March or
April in an array of different European cities since 1973. They have
been referred to as the 'jewel in the crown' of the ECPR and are
recognised as one of the major highlights of the world's political
science calendar.
The workshops are designed to be a forum for
substantive discussion on research in progress and collaboration among
scholars. They are gatherings of approximately 15 to 20 participants
from several different institutions, lasting for about 5 days. The
topics of discussion are precisely defined, and only those scholars
currently working in the workshop's field are invited to participate.
The
main objective of the workshops is to facilitate and encourage
participation, equality and collaboration between younger and newer
members of the profession, advanced students, and well-established
professors. In order to achieve this, the size of each workshop is
strictly limited. Each participant is expected to be carrying out
research in the field of the workshop, so that he or she is both able to
present a paper or research document for discussion, and participate in
the discussion of the other papers presented. Participants may attend
only one workshop and should stay for the duration of the Joint
Sessions. It is hoped that some of these workshops will lead to
publications and the creation of permanent standing groups, in addition
to continuing collaboration between members.
