The call for proposals for Round Tables for the 25th International Congress of Byzantine Studies, to be held in Vienna on August 24-29, 2026, went out during the busy season of the spring semester. In case you missed it, I am re-circulating the call. Please spend some time this summer thinking and discussing potential topics for round tables and colleagues for proposals.
The US National Committee is able to submit 10 proposals to the Congress Program Committee at the end of 2023. The US Committee requests that you send us your proposals by NOVEMBER 3. If we receive more than 10 proposals, we will suggest that some proposals go through different national committees.
Proposals should represent scholars from at least two different countries. Ideally proposals would represent scholars at a range of career stages, including emerging scholars.
If you wish to share ideas about potential proposals with the US Committee ahead of the November deadline, we can help alert you to potential overlap and opportunities for collaboration with other scholars. We want to help put forward the best possible slate of proposals for the Congress.
Please send plans and proposals to Leonora Neville at leonora.neville@wisc.edu. She will share with the rest of the US National Committee, which consists of Leonora Neville, Cecily Hilsdale, Andrea Achi, and Benjamin Anderson.
