I am planning to organize a panel. What is the best way to approach it?

Panels should not be composed of papers coming from a single project. Instead, we encourage panel proposers to build panels drawing on a diverse set of researchers. Open calls for contributions for panels should also be considered, which should be circulated via IMISCOE (website, social media). Panel organizers launching an open call for paper proposals should forward calls to the IMISCOE communications officer (imiscoe.communication@uliege.be) for further circulation via IMISCOE.

Generally, we encourage panel proposers to consider diversity in the composition of panels, notably in terms of career stage, but as far as appropriate to the panel theme, also in terms of disciplinary background or theoretical or methodological approaches.  

I have submitted my own paper submission, but am also involved in two other submissions as co-authors. Is this a problem?

Participants can be (non-presenting) co-authors of one or more papers. However, in the programming of the conference and final selection of papers the Program Committee will consider co-authorship patterns and may use closeness of topics or origin of papers in the same projects as additional selection/exclusion criteria.
