Procedure for submitting conference papers

Researchers on development issues are invited to present papers for the 11th General Conference of EADI. Papers should be related to the topics of the working group sessions of the conference and submitted via the abstract submission form. The approach to the theme may be conceptual, or it may relate to a particular field or discipline. Papers may refer to particular developing and/or transition countries or to relations between different countries and groupings or countries and regions (e.g. EU/ACP).

1. Authors will send a ONE-PAGE abstract, with a clear title, explaining the objectives of the papers as well as its methodology.
2. Papers should be related to the topics of the working group sessions of the conference.
3. The name of the author, his/her institutional affiliation, address, e-mail address and fax numbers must be clearly indicated. All abstracts should be sent by e-mail, using the submission form on the conference website. Abstracts sent by regular mail or fax will be refused. The deadline for sending abstracts to the EADI Secretariat is 28 February 2005. Papers/abstracts can be submitted either in English or in French.
4. Authors will be informed by the Secretariat no later than 30 April 2005 whether their subject has been accepted.
5. Upon acceptance of their abstract, authors will send a FULL-LENGTH PAPER to the EADI Secretariat before 30 June 2005.

The following are prerequisites for papers to be considered:
1. The text should not exceed 8,000 words.
2. The following information should be given on the front page of the paper: title of paper, name of the author, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers.
3. The abstract should be reproduced at the beginning of the full-length text.
4. The bibliography should be placed at the end of the paper; footnotes should appear at the bottom of the relevant page.

Even if an abstract has been accepted at the first stage, any paper, depending on its quality, may be refused for final presentation in the Conference. Accepted papers will be presented by their authors in the sessions of the EADI Working Groups. Therefore authors should clearly indicate to which working group they refer, but the Scientific Committee will make the final decision.
