Upload your Paper
Please note that uploading your Paper via My ECPR constitutes an agreement for ECPR to publish the Paper on the event app, which will be accessible to all participants.

Please upload your Paper (in PDF format and in English) well ahead of your presentation so that your fellow Panel attendees have time to prepare comments and questions.

  1. Head to My Events in your My ECPR account.
  2. Click Manage Paper > Browse > Select your Paper > Open/OK > Upload.
  3. Click View Document to ensure that it has been uploaded successfully

You can also use this facility to replace your Paper or remove it after the event.

Have trouble uploading your Paper?

Contact our Events Team.

Prefer to share your Paper with fellow panellists directly?
