The division therefore welcomes proposals that link political scientists with researchers and teachers from other disciplines or with research questions drawn from other disciplines. A wealth of topics has a cross-disciplinary nature; to name a few: political economy, law and courts, public policy, immigration and multiculturalism, public opinion and norms, decision-making, and science and technology.

Obviously, the range of topics is infinite and many other themes will be equally suitable. Yet there is little doubt that the study of European politics and society will genuinely benefit from cross-fertilization with other disciplines and I am looking forward to receiving proposals that transcend our field's traditional theoretical or empirical boundaries.
