ESIL Research Fora

The ESIL Research Forum is a scholarly conference that promotes engagement with research in progress by members of the Society. It has a small and intensive format targeting scholars at an early stage of their careers, especially advanced PhD students and post-doctoral researchers.
A given number of papers will be selected from among the submissions and, during the Forum, the presenters will receive comments on their papers from the ESIL Board members and invited experts.
