Call for Papers: Early Career Scholars’ Workshop – Transnational Environmental Law (TEL), 23 October 2026
The Future of Transnational Environmental Law
European University Institute, Florence
Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) invites submissions for an early career scholars workshop on “The Future of Transnational Environmental Law,” to be held on 23 October 2026 at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence.
The workshop reflects this mission by fostering forward-looking, methodologically diverse, and conceptually rigorous contributions that push the boundaries of transnational environmental law scholarship.
Themes and Scope
The workshop aims to bring together emerging scholars working at the intersection of environmental law, governance, and transnational legal processes to reflect critically on how transnational environmental law is evolving in response to myriad contemporary challenges. These include, but are not limited to, climate change, biodiversity loss, technological transformation, geopolitical fragmentation and conflict, corporate and financial regulation, and the changing roles of non-state and sub-state actors.
We welcome unpublished draft papers that engage with the future trajectories, conceptual foundations, and practical implications of transnational environmental law. Contributions may be theoretical, doctrinal, empirical, or interdisciplinary in approach.
Publication Opportunity
The workshop is designed to support early career scholars in developing publishable research. Selected papers will be considered for publication in Transnational Environmental Law. In some cases, review and revision process for TEL may be initiated prior to the workshop, allowing the event to focus on constructive engagement and further refinement of the work.
Who may apply:
Early career scholars (including PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars within the early stages of their academic career)
Deadline for submissions: 13 April 2026
• Notification of decisions: 30 April 2026
