As Europe’s largest and most international conference with an African focus, ECAS2027 – the 11th European Conference on African Studies – will be held as a face-to-face event from 30 June-3 July 2027 in Lisbon, Portugal.

The theme of ECAS 2027 is “African Prisms”. It aims to speak to the multiplicity of disciplines, perspectives, methods, histories, and images that shape the contemporary study of Africa. At its essence, a prism refracts light, revealing a spectrum where once appeared unity.

All panel proposals must be submitted via the online form.

Submission deadline: 27 September 2026
