The ECPR's General Conference is a key date in the political science calendar. The 2011 event saw over 2,300 political scientists converge in Reykjavik to attend panels and a full plenary programme, the highlight of which was the keynote lecture delivered by the President of Iceland, Olafur Ragnar Grímsson.
The structure of the event involves an academic programme (http://pr.ecprnet.eu/lt.php?c=221&m=206&nl=17&s=6074457502efeb0d611187ca9c767bba&lid=3935&l=-http--ecprnet.eu/Events/SectionList.aspx--Q-EventID--E-5) with Sections and Panels. The programme is intended to be very broad, covering all the main areas of political science, political theory, international relations, and European studies. The list of sections is now available on the ECPR website (http://pr.ecprnet.eu/lt.php?c=221&m=206&nl=17&s=6074457502efeb0d611187ca9c767bba&lid=3935&l=-http--ecprnet.eu/Events/SectionList.aspx--Q-EventID--E-5).
