Cumulus Glasgow 2027 conference calling for submissions

Life After Limits – Creative Practices for the 21st Century

Due date: 10. January 2027
The Cumulus PhD Network is launching a call for short papers, dedicated exclusively to PhD students, inviting them to share their doctoral research during the Cumulus Glasgow 2027 conference in a dynamic Pecha Kucha format (20 slides advancing automatically every 20 seconds).
The call is open to current PhD students only (excluding post-doctoral researchers). Submissions must be made individually, without the participation of supervisors, tutors or co-authors.

The PhD Network Track does not follow a specific topic and is not linked to the conference themes. It is intended for PhD students who wish to present their research and receive feedback from the Cumulus Network community in an engaging, live, multi-national setting. Authors should submit an abstract (maximum 500 words) and a short paper (maximum 2000 words) describing their research via the Cumulus Glasgow 2027 submission system.

Submitted proposals will undergo a double-blind peer review process prior to acceptance. Selected papers will be presented in one or more dedicated sessions during the conference and published in the Cumulus Glasgow 2027 conference proceedings. Presentations are strongly encouraged to take place in person; however, a limited number of online presentation slots will be made available to accommodate participants who are unable to travel to Glasgow.

Formatting and submission requirements are detailed on the Submission platform.
