AIRE Annual Day (18/06/2025) - Call for Panels

After the success of our first annual AIRE conference in June 2024, where 40 scholars from inside and outside Sciences Po participated in 8 panels, we will be organizing the second edition of this event on Wednesday, June 18 2025. This full day event aims to bring together the growing environmental research community of Sciences Po around panel sessions, a shared lunch, a keynote lecture, and an AIRE general assembly. 

We are now calling for panel proposals until the deadline of 31 January 2025. To ensure the conference contributes to AIRE's aim of bringing environmental researchers at Sciences Po together across centers and disciplines, we particularly welcome proposals that consider the following criteria:

• Panels should focus on environmental research, broadly understood, at Sciences Po.
• Panels should bring together 3-4 speakers. The exact format of panels is up to panel organizers. Discussants are optional.
• Panels should focus on bringing Sciences Po colleagues together. Non-Sciences Po colleagues are certainly welcome to participate and attend, but panels should be organized by at least one member of Sciences Po, and a majority of panel participants should be Sciences Po members
• Panels should focus on interdisciplinarity. Panel organizers are therefore encouraged to co-organize with colleagues from other disciplines or other Sciences Po research centers, and in particular to bring together presenters with diverse disciplinary perspectives.
• We encourage panels to bring together both junior and senior colleagues, either in terms of organizers and/or participants. PhD’s, postdocs, professors; everyone is welcome to present their work (also if it is work in progress).
• We explicitly welcome, in any capacity, colleagues who do not primarily self-identify as environmental researchers, but who are interested in presenting environment-relevant work at the conference.

A call for paper proposals will follow at a later date, as well as an invitation to those who will exclusively attend as audience.

Panel proposal should include

• A title
• An abstract (max. 250 words)
• Details of panel organizers (name, affiliation)
• A list of (potential) presenters (names and affiliations)
• Deadline : 31 January 2025

We look forward to receiving your ideas! If you are interested in organizing a panel, but are not sure about who to involve, we are happy to help you find the right partners within Sciences Po.
