Sciences. The event is chaired by Prof. Markus Strohmaier (GESIS & U. of

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
We invite submissions for posters. Submissions could either consist of
(i) the poster itself or (ii) a 1 page abstract of the poster that will
be presented. Submissions will mostly be evaluated based on relevance
and the potential to stimulate interesting discussions. We encourage
researchers to both submit mature work that has already been published
and/or submit work-in-progress. Authors are kindly requested to submit
via the easychair submission system for the event:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cssws14
REGISTRATION:
Registration is free of charge. Poster submission is not a requirement
for attendance, talks are open to anyone interested. Attendees are
highly encouraged to participate in the informal evening event (Cologne
Christmas markets) and plan their travel accordingly. Unfortunately we
cannot take responsibility for support on visa related issues. The
symposium venue is located in the heart of Cologne, where accommodation
is widely available.
