Call for Applications: for Workshop-Writing and Publishing in the Law of the ECHR and other International Human Rights Systems,15 – 16 December 2025
15 – 16 December 2025 (Hybrid)
The workshop has multiple objectives. It aims to address a range of questions central to effective publishing strategies in the law of the ECHR and other international human rights systems. It also aims to give Early Career Researchers an opportunity to discuss works in progress in small groups: while such work should be related to the broader theme of human rights, we very much welcome contributions from various disciplines and/or incorporating comparative or critical perspectives. Lastly, and following the inaugural workshop in February 2024, this year’s workshop seeks to expand the network of scholars working in that field, thereby establishing a regular forum for exchange of ideas and best publishing practices.
Call for Submissions
We invite submissions from Early Career Researchers (broadly understood), working on human rights law and fundamental rights as well as other disciplines, including philosophy, history, political science, sociology and anthropology, addressing the various challenges international human rights systems are facing. Submissions may have a focus on a particular human rights system and/or adopt a comparative approach in their research. Alongside academic merit, the Selection Committee will also consider factors such as diversity and geographical representation in the selection process.
Applications should be submitted via email to Publishing-humanrights@uni-koeln.de. The deadline is 21 September 2025.
