Dear colleagues,
We just received news from the organizers of this year's ESA conference (September 7-10, in Geneva, Switzerland), that the deadline for the abstract submission has been extended. The new deadline is March 8. You can submit your abstracts until that date on the conference homepage under http://www.esa10thconference.com/submission.php
On this homepage, you will find the call for papers of the Research Network on Ageing in Europe and the submission guidelines.
There also is some news concerning the Research Network membership:
The ESA is currently making praiseworthy efforts to integrate the Networks more productively into its official organisation. The Networks basically provide the backbone of the conference programmes, and sustain the interest of members on an ongoing basis. Our own network on Ageing, for example, regularly has double or triple sessions at each ESA conference, as well as interim meetings on years where the ESA sessions do not take place. The ESA now aims to support the Networks more actively, for example with financial support for interim meetings or PhD training sessions.
For this reason the ESA is asking Network members to sign up officially to their respective networks, at a price of ten euros (please see the form at http://www.europeansociology.org/memberform2.htm).
We are extremely keen to urge members to sign on as members of this Network. Without a quorum (currently set at 25 members), we would be unable to vote at ESA meetings and would not be able to exert the influence on the ESA that our large size warrants – we are one of the biggest groups in the ESA.
So please sign up!
We are looking forward to seeing you in Geneva!
With kind regards,
Harald Kuenemund, Ricca Edmonson & Kathrin Komp
for the Research Network on Ageing in Europe
