Workshops theme:
Hybrid, liminal, ambiguous? International politics ‘in-between’

The European Workshops in International Studies (EWIS), launched by the EISA in 2013, have fast established themselves as a spirited place for the European IR community to engage in sustained, in-depth discussion with a diverse range of peers from various institutions, countries, disciplines and career stages. EWIS has proven to be a popular and productive format, perfect for preparing special issues, edited volumes or exploring new ideas, themes and directions in a vibrant and friendly atmosphere. 

Before submitting your abstract, please be aware that EWIS follows a highly specific workshop format that requires full participation from all attendees throughout the event. You can read more about the EWIS format in the ‘workshop format’ section here.
