[ecrea] ICA Regional Co-sponsored conference in Lille, France

For those of you who were not able to submit a 1,000-word abstract for 
the 2012 ICA regional conference in Lille, France, we have some good 
news: the deadline has been *extended to October 30, 2011.* We already 
received more than 120 submissions, which is very good for a regional 
conference. Because of technical difficulties we experienced on the very 
date of the deadline, but also because we would like to target 200 
submissions for this conference, we thought it would be a good idea to 
offer this extension.

Please find in attachment the Call for Papers. This regional conference 
is titled "Communicating in a World of Norms: Information and 
Communication in Contemporary Globalization” and will take place in 
Lille, France, from March 7-9, 2012.

Lille is located in Northern France and it takes less than one hour by 
train to get to this beautiful city from the Roissy Charles de Gaulle 
airport, one of the two main Paris airports.

We hope that you will be interested in participating in this 
international event, which is co-sponsored by ICA, the GERIICO [Group of 
studies and research on information and communication] and the SFSIC 
[French Society for Information and Communication Sciences]. It is the 
first time that ICA is sponsoring such an event in France, which will 
help us develop stronger scientific relationships between communication 
scholars all around the world.

The proposals can be submitted in French or in English. The authors will 
get an answer at the beginning of December 2011. Please see the attached 
CFP for more details.

Looking forward to seeing you there! If you have any question, please 
don’t hesitate to contact me.

François Cooren, PhD
Past president (2010-2011)
