Call For Papers: 19th Pan-European Conference on International Relations Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon, 1-4 September 2026
welcome contributions on the impact of world and regional events on knowledge production. In this sense, the debate on knowledge production and its authenticity in a world in which truth claims are constantly questioned from all sides and in which artificial intelligence is certain to play an increasingly central role is an important one in the current academic context. How are scholars dealing with evidence, with data and how is that impacting their research? We also welcome contributions about what is authentic knowledge, who authorizes it, who is entitled to produce it and how it is produced. What is the role of academia in the new ventures of knowledge production, and how can it -or should it- collaborate with other sectors in producing knowledge? How is knowledge transferred, how are the future generations of knowledge producers prepared and made ready to deal with these challenges and those future challenges that we do not yet know about?

About Venue: Iscte– University Institute ofLisbon
The Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon was founded in 1972 as one of Portugal’s first modern universities, with the central aim of studying labour and social dynamics in a rapidly changing world. Since its establishment, the university has expanded its disciplinary reach into five schools: Iscte Business School, the School of Sociology and Public Policy, the School of Technology and Architecture, School of Social Sciences and Humanities and recently the School of Applied Digital Technologies (Iscte-Sintra). The university is actively engaged in collaborative projects, networks and partnerships around the world, including a range of educational, training and research programs supported by the European Union.
