The Centre for East European and Eurasian Studies (CEURUS) at the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies invites proposals for full panels, roundtables, and individual papers for its 2026 annual conference. The Tartu Conference on East European and Eurasian Studies provides an academic forum that brings together scholars from area studies, comparative politics, international relations, economics, history, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, and related disciplines to discuss topics and questions affecting all aspects of life in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. The organisers expect that, as in previous years, more than 200 scholars will attend the event.

The 10th edition of the Tartu Conference invites participants to reflect on the effects of (de-)globalization across Eastern Europe and Eurasia.

The deadline to submit proposals is 25 January 2026. Please visit the Submit Proposal page to upload an individual paper, panel, or roundtable proposal. All submissions will undergo review by the Programme Committee. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by email by 25 February. Accepted participants will be expected to register by 24 April and pay a registration fee of 120 euros. Students are eligible for a reduced fee of 80 euros. The registration fee includes coffee breaks, the opening reception, and the conference dinner. Please see the Rules of Participation and Important Dates for other deadlines and requirements.
