The 2nd International Hellenic Conference on Political Sciences: Communicating in Politics? (HEPO2021), 1-5 August 2021(https://coming.gr/hepo2021-call-for-papers/), hybrid conference (both face to face and remotely), Athens, Greece

The Communication Institute of Greece (COMinG)

invites you to its
2nd International Hellenic Conference on Political Sciences: Communicating in Politics? 1-5 August 2021, to be held both face-to-face (in Athens , Greece) and remotely (for the participants that might still face travel restrictions)



After the organization of seven successful annual international conferences (look Previous Conferences of COMinG), the 2nd International Hellenic Conference on Political Sciences: Communicating in Politics? (HEPO2021), aims to provide an opportunity for academics, professionals and industry experts from the field of political science, with cross-disciplinary interests, to discuss the future directives and innovations in their discipline.

This year, apart from our face-to-face conference, we also propose and promote online participation, as some countries/participants might still face travel restrictions. Even if remote participation will only require half the normal registration fee, we will do our best to provide participants with equal opportunities to exchange, share, and communicate, as with F2F participants.

We propose a new interdisciplinary platform for the presentation of empirical and theoretical work that is reflective of a highly dynamic political arena both domestically and internationally. The conference seeks to receive contributions from scholars who recognize that political science needs to vindicate its relevance by tackling today’s challenges while predicting future themes.

We aim to establish a hub for academics that engage with peers over the latest advances and research results in any sub-field of political science, international relations, and especially political communication, both in the shape of empirical and theoretical work. The theme of the conference is meant to inspire and bring together academic leaders, researchers, and scholars who like to think outside the box and transcend their disciplinary domain. While offering a forum to established academics we also like to see proposals from a new generation of researchers as well as outstanding research students who like to share their work, receive feedback and exchange ideas with faculty from all around the world. The unique aspect is that this conference will take place in parallel with the 6th Annual International Conference on Communication and Management, with the purpose to help experts from different disciplines communicate and exchange.
