Reminder: SIRCA’s Young Researchers Workshop 7 Call for Papers

Reminder: SIRCA are seeking submissions for the 2017 Young Researchers Workshop 7. The deadline for paper submissions is September 1st, 2017.

This year the event will be held at the University of Melbourne (Victoria) over Monday, November 20 – Tuesday, November 21, 2017.

SIRCA will cover flight expenses as well as one night’s accommodation for the author of the papers selected for inclusion on the workshop program. The Young Researchers Workshop event will provide young researchers (those currently engaged in PhD research or whose PhD thesis was completed less than five years ago) the opportunity to present their paper to a panel of distinguished researchers and receive feedback on their paper from a discussant in a relaxed workshop environment.

To qualify for inclusion the presenting author must be a “young researcher” from a SIRCA Member University. Use of SIRCA data or other innovative data sets are highly encouraged.

To submit please send two copies of your paper: one as a Word Document and one as a PDF Document to callforpapers@sirca.org.au. All Word Documents need a cover page that should contain the following; names of the authors including those who are Young Researchers highlighted, and full contact details of the lead author and person submitting the paper including email, mobile phone and name of University. PDF and Word Documents should not contain author details in the body of the paper.

If you have any questions, please contact enquiries@sirca.org.au.
