Submissions
Submit Paper
Authors who wish to submit papers are now able to do so. Please bear in mind the deadlines: 16th May for R-session and Y-session papers and 30th June for all other papers intended for inclusion on the Congress CD-ROM. Please follow the View Abstracts link below, then having selected the correct paper, click the "Submit Paper" link below the listed abstract. Please note that papers must be submitted in PDF format: no other formats will be accepted.
The Congress organisers are delighted at the excellent response to the Call for Papers. More than 1100 abstracts had been received by the time the Call was closed in February. Authors whose abstract has been accepted were emailed in early March. If you submitted an abstract and have still to hear whether it has been accepted, please let us know by email (ERSA2008@liverpool.ac.uk). It may be that the email has been trapped by a spam filter – we are aware that this has happened in a small number of cases. Please note that it is now too late to submit an abstract if you have not already done so.
