How to Participate?

How to take part in ELU-S?

ELU-S’s goal is to build an open community of scholars interested in law in Europe, where everyone is welcome, regardless of career stage, academic interests, or perspective on European law. Every year, we organise a conference with inspiring plenary sessions and a myriad of thematic panels where participants are in charge! All it takes to join is an interesting proposal – be it a paper, panel or new format session. Keep an eye out for the CfP for the next conference! Meanwhile, you can follow us on social media.

ELU-S 2026 CONFERENCE

ELU-S Annual Conference

The Annual Conference is the central activity of ELU-S. It should become a welcoming and stimulating meeting place where members can present research and exchange ideas on all facets of law in Europe from a range of methodological perspectives. The Annual Conference features plenary events, parallel panels, and social events to make the world of European law more connected, inclusive, and diverse.

The next Annual Conference will take place at the Católica Global School of Law in Lisbon on September 2-4, 2026.
