Submission Deadlines

Deadline for submission of abstracts: May 20, 2013 Results of abstract reviews returned to authors: Usually within two-three weeks of submitting an abstract Deadline for full conference registration payment for all presenters: June 10 2013 ECSS Conference: July 4-7 2013 Deadline for submission of full papers: September 1 2013 This year's conference will include a variety of presenters representing a wide range of social science disciplines, expressing divergent views, searching for common ground, and creating the synergies that can inspire multi-disciplinary collaborations. In developing these relationships among ourselves, the role of the social sciences is strengthened as we take our place at the table, along with scholars in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), in seeking solutions to the complex issues and problems of the 21st century. I sincerely hope that we will use this time together, not just for intellectual discovery and discourse, but to establish a common vision and to motivate each other to do our part in the creation of a sustainable world.
