IATIS Conference Committee

Remit

The main tasks of the IATIS Conference Committee are to facilitate the timely and efficient organisation of the triennial conference of the Association, and to help ensure that the conference becomes an important vehicle in achieving the Association’s aims, particularly with regard to its aspirations to be inclusive, multi-disciplinary, and respectful of different research traditions.

Specifically, the Conference Committee will:

  • develop a set of selection criteria for conference venues
  • invite applications to host conferences
  • present the options and, if required, make a recommendation to the Executive Council of IATIS on the selection of a conference venue
  • establish target timetables for the selection of venues, notification of conferences, calls for papers, publication of volumes following on from conferences, etc.
  • establish criteria for the designation, and targets for numbers, of supported students/researchers at IATIS conferences
  • ensure that relevant IATIS infrastructure (mailing lists, archived conference programmes, web forms, etc) is made available to conference organizing committees/local organizing committees
  • encourage conference organizers to reach out to researchers from a range of scholarly backgrounds.

The Committee reports to the Executive Council.
