ICPP7 - Chiang_Mai 2025

ICPP7 is organized in two phases:

1. A call for panels: September 5 - October 28, 2024
2. A call for papers: November 15, 2024 - January 31, 2025

The ICPP "panel" provides a homogeneous and coherent space for academic debate on a specific public policy research question where scholars can present and discuss their research. The panels can address any theoretical, methodological, or empirical research question and cover a large range of topics provided they are related to Public Policy. During the Conference, the panels will be divided into 1 to 3 sessions of 2 hours each and organized around paper presentations. To allow researchers to meet other peers and discover new perspectives surrounding the same research questions, ICPP only accepts open panel proposals and divides the call for panels and the call for papers into two distinct phases. 

ICPP7 will be a hybrid conference. Therefore,  we will accept two formats of panels: online or onsite, according to your preference. 

Please note that the onsite panels can allow in-person and virtual presentations (in this case, the presence onsite of at least one chair is mandatory). You can also choose to have only on-site presentations (in this case, all participants and chairs will attend the panel in person). Virtual panels will only be organized via videoconference. 

• Onsite Panels: the panel takes place on-site in Chiang Mai with at least one chair present in person to organize and manage the sessions. The other co-chairs and authors can participate either online or onsite.
• Virtual Panels: The panel will be organized via video conference. No room will be assigned for its activities during the ICPP7 and all the participants, even the ones onsite are required to participate remotely in the panel. 

During the first phase, the "call for panels", scholars must submit a proposal that will be evaluated and selected by the scientific committee. A panel proposal should include a description of its general objective, a definition of its research question, and a justification of its scientific relevance. This will enable the international scientific committee to select the panels. It should also integrate a "call for papers" detailing the type of papers expected. 

For the second phase, the "call for papers", the accepted panels will be published on our website along with their presentations and research question, and the call for papers description. Scholars will be able to submit a paper proposal for a specific panel that will comprise a title, an abstract, and tackle the research question. The panel chairs will directly manage the selection of the papers and will be asked to accept from 4 to 15 papers according to their quality and relevance to the panel.
