Guidelines for Session Organizers

Session organizers are responsible for the content and quality of their sessions. To assist them in their task, the Executive Committee of the International Economic History Association (IEHA) suggests a number of guidelines to be followed when organizing sessions for the Utrecht 2009 Congress.

The congress will last for five days. Each day will be divided into four time blocks of 90 minutes (two before lunch and two after lunch). Each session organizer will be given two time blocks. Time blocks will be consecutive on the same day unless the organizers request an alternative timing. No extra time blocks will be allocated: organizers wishing to extend their session have to submit a proposal in the Second Round. A detailed time schedule for the congress will be available in April 2009.

A tentative list of participants should be available for publication on the website before the 1st of November 2007. For all sessions a final list of participants and paper titles, a time schedule for the session, and the congress papers or abstracts must be submitted before the 31st of May 2009, for publication on the Congress website. Scholars and the general public will have access to the website and will be able to search, read, and download papers of interest in advance of the Congress.

The IEHA wants to enhance the quality of the congress proceedings as much as possible, and therefore encourages session organizers and chairpersons to plan their sessions carefully and well in advance. We would like you to think about the following issues.

Golden Rules for enhancing the quality of a session:

Evaluations of previous congresses have shown that participants often feel sessions are overcrowded and leave too little time for discussion. We therefore suggest you plan your session to allow at least 25 percent of the available time for open discussion with the floor.
