Rules for participating in panels:

• Number of paper-presenters in one panel session: max 5
• Paper-presenters may also be students
• Convenors may also present a paper during the conference, either in their own panel or another.
• Due to the ‘competition for time’ within such a conference, each participant may convene one panel, present one paper, chair one panel and be discussant in one panel.
• It is permitted to be a non-presenting co-author on multiple papers, but only in case it is another author presenting. If the presenting author cannot attend the conference, the paper must be withdrawn and cannot be presented by a co-author who already has a paper in another panel that s/he is presenting.
• All convenors, authors, chairs and discussants are expected to register online in advance of the event and pay a registration fee to attend.
• Half of the accepted paper proposals on the panel must be from an institution other than the institution of the panel convenors. This rule does not apply to the CRG panels.
• Please select only one presenting author. The presenting author can present only one paper during the ECAS 2025. However, paper co-authors are welcome to participate in ECAS 2025 and be present during the paper presentation.
