style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Panel proposals </B>(deadline <st1:date
Year="2006" Day="15" Month="9">15 September 2006</st1:date>) will have to
consist of a brief outline (max. one page) of the theme and purpose of the
panel, with a first indication of the people the organizer(s) anticipate(s) to
be involved as speakers. Immediately after the deadline the conference
committee will, on the basis of the outline (weighed against other proposals
in relation to the total number of available time slots), decide (i) whether
the proposal is accepted, and (ii) how many 90-minute slots can be made
available for the accepted panel. From that moment onwards, the organizer(s)
is/are free to fill the allotted sessions in the way they see as most suitable
to the theme and the purpose of their panel. Not all panels need to take the
same form; some may work with sessions that emphasize discussion; others may
want to fit in more (brief) oral presentations; the minimum number of
presentations planned for one 90-minute session, however, should be three.
Though it is the panel organizer(s) who take(s) active responsibility for the
quality of the contributions to their panel (i.e. they decide what is
accepted), abstracts for all panel contributions have to be submitted by the 1
November deadline that will be handled for individual submissions. Panel
organizers are expected to guide their participants in this process, so that
all formal requirements are duly fulfilled. This procedure implies that no-one
can submit contributions for panels without the prior consent of the panel
organizer(s). <B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><I

It is the individual submitter’s choice to submit for oral presentation
(lecture) or a poster. For oral presentations, 30-minute slots will be
available (including discussion time). Posters will be up for one whole day;
during that day, there will be a free hour that can be used only for looking
at and discussing posters. IPrA actively encourages the submission of posters;
experience tells us that they often lead to more serious interaction and
result in more lasting and fruitful contacts than oral presentations. <B

program, no-one can be permitted to send in more than one submission of which
he or she is the first author (whether panel contributions, lectures or
posters). Anyone may be involved in a second or even a third paper if someone
else is the first author and will be present at the conference as well. As a
rule, first authors handle the submission process. Presenting a paper is,
however, always compatible with taking the role of organizer of a panel or
acting as a discussant in a panel. </FONT></LI></UL></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
