The UACES Annual Conference is widely recognised for its academic quality, but it also stands out for the value it offers to delegates. At a time when conference costs are rising across the sector, UACES has taken a deliberate approach to ensuring that high quality academic exchange remains accessible, inclusive and affordable.

Networking built into the conference fee

One of the defining features of the UACES Annual Conference is that networking is not treated as an optional extra. Opportunities to exchange ideas, build collaborations and meet peers are built directly into the structure of the event.

Conference registration includes inclusive lunches on the main conference days, on site refreshment breaks and networking receptions. These shared spaces allow conversations to continue beyond formal panels and create a genuinely collegial atmosphere throughout the conference.

In contrast to other large conferences, at UACES, these spaces for discussion and connection are part of the core conference experience.

A balance of established and emerging voices

The conference programme is designed to support meaningful academic exchange across career stages. Panels bring together established scholars, leading figures in European Studies and early career researchers, alongside new and emerging voices.

This balance creates opportunities not only to engage with cutting edge research, but also to build professional networks and receive feedback in a supportive environment. The programme spans established fields as well as emerging areas of research, ensuring that the conference reflects the full breadth of contemporary European Studies.

A genuinely international conference community

The UACES Annual Conference attracts an international and diverse community of participants. Delegates regularly come from across Europe, the UK, North America and beyond, representing a wide range of institutions and research traditions.

This international mix enriches panel discussions, broadens perspectives and challenges the assumption that the conference is limited to the UK or a small number of EU member states. The result is a conference that feels outward looking, globally connected and intellectually broad.

Strong support for early career researchers

UACES has a long standing commitment to supporting early career and PhD researchers, which is embedded throughout the Annual Conference.

The programme structure, review processes and panel composition are designed to ensure fair and transparent assessment, alongside opportunities for early career scholars to present their work, engage with senior academics and build professional networks. This support is delivered as part of the standard Early Career/PhD conference fee, rather than being confined to separate or additional activities.

In addition, UACES offers funding and support opportunities for eligible members, helping to reduce barriers to participation and ensure that the conference remains accessible.

Value delivered through collective expertise

Together, these elements explain the overall value of the UACES Annual Conference experience. Delegates benefit from a carefully curated academic programme, built in networking opportunities, an international scholarly community and meaningful support for early career researchers, all within an accessible fee structure.

It is this combination of collective expertise, community focused design and a commitment to accessibility that defines the UACES Annual Conference experience.

En France, une fuite de données à lieu toutes les heures. Ces derniers mois, plusieurs organismes publics ont été touchés : La Poste, France Travail ou encore l’ANTS, l’interface délivrant les documents d’identité. Des informations confidentielles, parfois sensibles, sont vendues sur des forums. Rachetées par des cybercriminels, elles servent à alimenter tous types d’arnaques comme la fraude au faux conseillers bancaires ou aux faux courtiers. Pour les victimes, livrées à elles-mêmes, il devient impossible de distinguer le vrai du faux.
