Special Interest Groups and Committees of CIES

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) provide a forum within CIES for the involvement of individuals drawn together by common interest in a field of study. Recognized SIGs will also receive conference space for sessions at the Annual Conference.

For CIES 2009, the SIGs and the New Scholars Committee will participate in the review of abstracts. We are introducing this year a centralized submission procedure, that is, submissions to CIES SIGs or the New Scholars Committee (doctoral workshop) are collected centrally and then distributed for a review to SIGs or the Young Scholars Committee, respectively. More details can be found on the Call for Abstracts.
