Our annual two-day research conference provides a friendly environment for PhD and Early Career Researchers from all over the world to present their work, receive feedback and dialogue with each other. Funding is available for participants (subject to terms and conditions).
Research presentations will be complemented by a keynote address and roundtable discussion.
We welcome submissions from PhD students and Early Career Researchers worldwide in the field of contemporary European Studies and related disciplines (such as Political Science, Law, International Relations, History, Economics, Sociology, Geography).
As the flagship event of the UACES Graduate Forum (formerly: UACES Student Forum), the conference is a prime venue for networking with colleagues and presenting innovative research.

Conference Theme
Since its inception, the EU has grown into a more complex political, legal and regulatory object that affects numerous aspects of its citizens lives. The organization has also grown into an actor that is relevant at the regional and even global level. The different stages on which the EU is present are reflected in the challenges it is facing: Brexit, Russia’s awakening, the future of the eurozone etc.
UACES is more than ever embracing the complexity and the diversity of European studies; and this conference organized by the UACES Graduate Forum is no exception. In March 2018, we will be inviting submissions of abstracts in the field of European Studies, which includes disciplines such as Political Science, Law, International Relations, History, Economics, Sociology, Geography etc.
Some of the questions we will be asking include:
- What is the impact of the EU on one or more of these “stages”?
- Are there challenges to the EU’s ability to bring about change?
- Can the EU survive on multiple stages at once?
We welcome abstracts for papers or proposals for panels that address one or more aspects of the above theme.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome abstracts (max. 200 words) for individual papers, or proposals for a panel of 3 or 4 papers.
You must be a PhD student or Early-Career researcher (up to 3 years since PhD viva) working in the field of contemporary European Studies or related disciplines (e.g. Political Science, Law, International Relations, History, Economics, Sociology, Geography, Anthropology).
For panel proposals, the title of your submission must include the word 'PANEL'. You must list each papergiver as an author. The panel abstract must include a summary of the panel (max. 100 words) and a title, papergiver name and abstract (max. 200 words) for each paper. A panel proposal can have 3 or 4 papers.
