The 53rd European Studies Conference

Join us in Belfast in 2023 to meet colleagues and other academics in the field of contemporary European studies at Queen's University Belfast (QUB). We’re delighted to finally be travelling to Belfast, after having to cancel our conference there in 2020 and we’re looking forward to seeing our members, new and old next year.

The conference will take place from 3-6 September 2023, with a virtual day being held on 11 September.

Registrations are open!

CfP is now closed but you can still register as an audience participant. Paper-givers can register now. You should have received your paper acceptance via email. Can't attend in person? We offer an online day on 11 September.
