Room allocations are indicated in the 'Building' field on the Timetable. These can also be found once the Panel has been added to your Itinerary.

When creating the timetable for the event we start with the aim of scheduling all Panels within a Section on different, consecutive sessions, within the same room for the duration of the event. This is done programmatically first, and the timetable is then carefully checked and fine-tuned by our Events Team.

Where a Section is scheduled to take place across different rooms, or in the very unlikely event two Panels within a Section are scheduled to take place at the same time, it is because other factors have rendered it impossible to do otherwise.

The key reason for this is, when a participant has multiple roles at the event, for example presenting more than one paper, or acting as a Panel Chair/Co-Chair or Discussant as well. When this happens, we must timetable around them, to enable all of their engagements, which then has a knock-on effect on others.

All buildings used for the conference are within a 2-3 minute walk from one another, which should allow all participants to navigate the campus quickly and with ease.

Yes, we still plan to stream in-person Panels and headline events online. These will be available to all conference participants via our event platform.

Yes. Our Events Team will get in touch about arranging your travel via our dedicated provider. Please do not book any travel or accommodation independently.

Please get in touch with our Finance Team about the refund for the overpaid fee. If you haven't paid yet, your revised invoice is now available via My Invoices in My ECPR.

If all Panels in which you have a participating role are taking place virtually, please consider your environmental footprint and avoid travelling to Innsbruck.
