Call for Thematic and Policy Sessions

There will be two types of pre-organised sessions at EAERE2019 for which proposals are now invited.  

 

(1) The aim of THEMATIC SESSIONS is to highlight current research on a subject in environmental and resource economics. Thematic sessions will consist of three papers connected by a unifying theme. These individual contributions are expected to be of very high quality, both with respect to the scientific content of the paper and the presentation. The Scientific Committee will select a limited number of proposed Thematic Sessions based on scientific quality and originality. The proposed papers for these sessions will undergo the normal refereeing process; only papers which are approved will be included in the programme. If some of the papers in an approved Session are not accepted by the referees, the Scientific Committee will contact the session organisers and propose a regrouping. 

 

(2) POLICY SESSIONS aim to advance the use of environmental and resource economics to support policy-making and to provide a forum of exchange between policy-makers and academics. Sessions are expected to be of interest to a broad audience of research economists. They will typically be formatted as short presentations followed by panel/roundtable discussions. Policy sessions would normally include four contributions.  

 

 

• Name(s) of the Thematic Session's Organiser(s)
• Proposed title of the Thematic Session 
• A short description of the theme and an explanation how the three papers connect and jointly relate to the theme. 
• The title, author names, and a 100-word abstract for EACH of the three papers included in the Session

For their organisers, THEMATIC SESSIONS imply particular responsibilities: 

• Thematic Session Organiser(s) must commit to attending EAERE2019 and to chairing the specific Thematic Session.
• Thematic Session Organiser(s) are also fully responsible for ensuring that the Session contributors are aware of and follow the rules below. 
• There are no earmarked financial resources to support Thematic Sessions. All nominated participants in a Thematic Session have to pay the EAERE conference registration fees.

• Proposed title of the Policy Session
• Name(s) of the policy session's organiser(s)
• A short description of the theme and its relevance to environmental or natural resource economists

However, policy-makers contributing to a Policy Session qualify for access to EAERE2019 on the day of their session at a reduced rate. No further access or discounts on registration fees can be provided. All nominated participants of policy sessions are to be registered by 8 May, 2019.
