IAMCR - International Association for Media and Communication Research

IAMCR's Executive Board has agreed that the deadline for the submission of conference abstracts should be extended by approximately two weeks. Other dates have also been adjusted to take account of this change.

Given challenging economic conditions globally, we are committed to doing all that is possible, including through this deadline extension, to encourage widest possible participation in the Mexico City Conference.

The extended deadlines are as follows:
 
Submission of abstracts to be extended from January 31 to February 16, 2009.

Notification to applicants of results of abstracts evaluation - by March 29, 2009.
 
Abstracts should be submitted through BOTH the official conference website portal AND the specified Section /Working Group Chairs or their stated nominees. For ease of reference, the URL for the central abstract submission portal on the Mexico conference website is http://www.iamcr2009mexico.unam.mx/english/form.html
 
Applicants are reminded not to submit the same paper to more than one Section or Working Group as you risk the elimination of the paper altogether, or at best, you will encounter significant delays in determining where it will be presented, if selected.
 
For persons selected to present papers in Mexico City, the deadline for submission of full papers to Section Heads and Working Group Chairs  will be July 1, 2009.

If you encounter any difficulties in submitting abstracts, particularly via the central abstract submission webpage, please send us an e-mail.
