UACES Annual Conference 2022
Our 52nd Annual Conference
The conference will be a wonderful opportunity to meet colleagues and other academics in the historic city of Lille and to reunite with UACES colleagues in person for the first time in many months to discuss topics related to European Studies and Europe.
This year UACES will be offering the main conference as a three-day in-person event. We will also be running a one-day virtual event on Thursday 8 September, to enable those who cannot travel to Lille to participate and present their work.
There will be two separate registrations on offer – tickets for the virtual event will give you access to the one-day virtual conference as well as to livestreams of the plenary sessions in Lille. In-Person tickets will give you access to both the in-person and virtual events.
On submitting their paper, participants will be expected to indicate whether they wish to present in-person or virtually. Panels for these events will be timetabled separately and as such, UACES can only accept a change to/from in-person to virtual participation if requested before 31 May 2022. We cannot guarantee any requests to change made after this date except in instances where self-isolation or travel bans are imposed requiring virtual participation.
UACES expects all conference participants to adhere to local covid guidance at the time of the event.

Welcome to Lille!

She is the perfect embodiment of a traveler —looking towards the Lille Flandres Train Station, she will welcome visitors from around the world, faithful to the Lille tradition.

Cathedral Notre-Dame de la Treille
In 1854, the idea of building an imposing basilica on this site dedicated to the Virgin Mary was born. Wars and financial difficulties soon put an end to the started plans. In 1913, the basilica became a cathedral, but the project, although reduced to more modest proportions, began to drag on and the cathedral remained unfinished. It was not until the 1990s that public funding allowed for the completion of the main facade, which was inaugurated in 1999. Designed by the Lille architect Pierre-Louis Carlier, it is the product of great technical prowess and was made possible by the collaboration of Peter Rice
The Chamber of Commerce building
Designed by architect Louis-Marie Cordonnier and built between 1910 and 1921 in neo-Flemish style, Lille's landmark Chamber of Commerce building is crowned by a 76m-high spire adorned with a gilded clock.
