CESRAN International, in collaboration with the Contemporary Arab World Centre, Faculty of Humanities, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, invites paper, panel and roundtable proposals for the 14th Annual Conference on International Studies (CESRAN2027), to be held in Budapest, Hungary, from 6 to 9 July 2027.

The conference will bring together academics, researchers, policymakers and practitioners to discuss contemporary developments and new research directions in international studies. CESRAN2027, (formerly known as the IEPAS Conferences), will provide opportunities to present research, exchange ideas, build international networks and develop scholarly collaborations. Selected contributions may be considered for publication opportunities, subject to separate editorial assessment, peer review and publisher requirements. Conference participation does not guarantee publication.

Participants who do not wish to present a paper are also welcome, subject to registration requirements. We particularly encourage participation from civil society organisations, the private sector, public institutions and the media.

We look forward to seeing you in Budapest in 2027!
