Two graduate bursaries will be available for the best submitted papers by current graduate students. The bursaries will contribute up to 5000 SEK (about $750) towards travel, and cover meals, accommodation and conference registration.  Please indicate in your submission email if you wish to be considered for a bursary.

Only electronic submissions will be accepted.  Papers should include an abstract of no more than 250 words and be prepared for blind review - please include name, affiliation and contact details in the body of the email.  Please also indicate in the submission email whether you would be willing to act as a respondent if your paper is not accepted for the conference.  There are plans to put together a journal special issue from selected papers. Please indicate in your email whether you would like your paper considered for publication as part of this issue.
