Registration and Attendance

If your paper/dialogue proposal/ student pitch has been accepted for parallel session presentation, you  need to  register to attend the conference by June 22nd 2016. In the case of  Dialogue Session this includes all panellists . (The Committee reserves the right to withdraw a submission from the programme if the author/presenter has not registered by the agreed date).

Speaker Biography

If you wish your  details  to be included in the Speaker Biographies document circulated to conference delegates and did not include these when submitting your abstract,  you need to send us a short biography in word with photo ( as a separate image in jpeg) to conference@biee.org  as soon as convenient  and no later than August 31st.

Paper Submission

The deadline for all submissions is August 31st.

Authors of accepted papers are required to grant the BIEE a non-exclusive license to post their abstract, paper and presentation on the BIEE website. The paper and presentation will only be viewable by BIEE members and conference delegates.  This does not preclude subsequent publication elsewhere (economics journals generally accept the pre-publication of “working paper versions” such as these).

Student ‘Short Pitch’ presenters may also submit a paper  if  wished but this is optional. The same submission deadline of August 31st applies.

Dialogue Panellists are not required to submit written papers/articles for publication but may do so if wished, provided the paper relates to the theme of the Dialogue session. Papers or articles can be submitted on an individual or group basis and must be received by August 31st.

Presentation Timings 

All parallel sessions will be 90 minutes long.

Paper

Presentation time for accepted papers will be 20  minutes  with 10 minutes Q&A.

Dialogue

Each 90  Dialogue minute session  will begin with 3 to 5 panellists providing a five-minute commentary on that question (without slides). This will be followed by Q&A, discussion and debate from the floor and the session will end with a brief summing up from each of the panellists (10 mins total).

Student’ Short Pitches’

Student Short Pitches will last 3 minutes and should comprise 1 title slide and 1 presentation slide. This is a (slightly extended) version of the well-known ‘elevator pitch’, aiming to interest others in the problem you are addressing, the approach being taken (and the emerging results, for those nearing the end of their studies). Experienced academics will act as facilitators for the session and conference attendees will also be invited to attend and take part in group discussions afterwards. Students are welcome to bring posters or other materials to display in the room.

Students who are also submitting a paper should follow the same paper submission guidelines as other authors ( see above)  and submit their papers by August  31st.

Students whose abstracts have been accepted are eligible for subsidised registration fees to help you attend. Please see registration fees for more information or contact Sarah Jeffery  conference@biee.org with any questions.
