INVITATION TO SGEU BOOK EXHIBITION

3rd Pan-European Conference on EU Politics

21-23 September 2006, Istanbul, Turkey

Dear Publisher,

The ECPR Standing Group on the European Union (SGEU) is organizing a conference on EU politics. The conference will be held 21-23 September 2006 in Istanbul, Turkey, and will be the largest of its type held in Europe. We expect that the conference will bring together about 500 academics from Europe and beyond.

The conference will include a book exhibition, which we invite you to join. The conference venue will be the Istanbul Bilgi University Dolapdere Campus Main Building which provides excellent facilities for a book exhibition. The exhibition will be hosted in the main entrance of the building which in fact is an atrium, with bookstore and cafeteria located on its sides. The cafeteria provides both food-and-drinks and also accommodates an internet café with 30 PCs and free access to internet. This large entrance leads to the conference halls, computer laboratories and the campus library.

An excellent way of supplementing participation in the exhibition is with an advertisement in the conference program. As every conference participant will receive the program as part of his or her conference wallet, an advertisement will enable your company to draw the participants’ attention to your stand at the exhibition. Even if your company is unable to attend the conference, an advertisement gives your company the opportunity of reaching all conference attendees in a clear and direct manner.

However, advertising is not the only possibility of reaching the participants if your company is unable to attend the conference. At the exhibition, ECPR personnel will run a book stand where books and publicity leaflets from publishers not present at the conference will be displayed. This service is only available for smaller publishers.

Bookings should be made before 15th May 2006.

A publisher’s reception is held in the book exhibition area in the evening of Thursday 21 September, paid out of the charges for participation in the book exhibition.

Further information about booking details, the conference and the venue are available at the conference web site: http://www.jhubc.it/ecpr-istanbul

If you require any further information or help, please do not hesitate to contact Fusun Ozatav at

We hope to see you in Istanbul in September 2006

SGEU Chair
