(2) Already established research groups that would like to meet to work out how to further their research agenda.

EWIS 2017
2017-06-07 - 2017-06-10 | Cardiff University, United Kingdom
4th European Workshops in International Studies,Krakow, Jagiellonian University, 7-10 June 2017
The European Workshops in International Studies, launched in 2013, have become quickly a vital place for the European IR community to engage in sustained, in-depth and productive discussion. They bring together a diverse range of peers from a variety of institutions, countries, disciplines and career stages, which has proved to be fertile ground for the development of projects, special issues, edited collections and for drivingforward thinking in key areas.
This year’s theme “New Frontiers in International Relations” foregrounds the importance of pushing traditional boundaries and going beyond disciplinary and intellectual frontiers. The 23 workshops that were chosen from the open call reflect this theme well. With 340 participants from across the globe this year’s EWIS is not only the largest so far,but the most diverse. We are confident that Cardiff will be an ideal setting to push the boundaries of current research and drive IR to new frontiers by exploring new ideas, themes and directions, but also by forming new networks through the lively social programme that has been arranged.
We are also delighted to have secured a high-profile international keynote speaker whose truly boundary-pushing research – and chosen topic – reflect the EWIS 2017 theme. We very much look forward to Professor Peter Sloterdjik’s thoughts on democracy at the keynote event on Wednesday, the 7th of June.
This, the 4th EWIS, sees a number of innovations, including child care support and a range of social events, such as happy hours and a closing party. Together with the excursions that provide ample opportunity to explore Wales, we hope that EWIS Cardiff 2017 provides a memorable as well as productive experience.
None of this would have been possible without the hard work behind the scenes of the workshop conveners, Cardiff University staff, the staff of EISA, as well as numerous student helpers. We hope you all join us in thanking them for this work.

EWIS 2016
2016-04-06 - 2016-04-08 | University of Tübingen, Germany
3rd European Workshops in International Studies,
University of Tübingen, Germany, 6 – 8 April 2016
Welcome to EWIS 2016! The European Workshops in International Studies are the smaller of the two main annual conferences of the European International Studies Association – but small now means 300 participants! This shows that the workshop format is attractive to many of our members. The chance to discuss papers in-depth in a more informal setting while still enjoying the conference surroundings and being able to mingle with colleagues across the discipline give EWIS its particular atmosphere.
Tübingen offers a unique setting for EWIS. The second-oldest university town in Germany (the University was founded in 1477), it looks as being taken from a picture book on Germany with its cobbled streets and half-timbered houses, its gothic church and the many squares to meet up. Make sure that you pay a visit to the university museum in the castle, which houses many treasures from some of humankind’s oldest artefacts to the kitchen in which DNA was discovered. Walk around the streets and alleys on a market day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday). Take the bus to the tranquil setting of Bebenhausen monastery, or the train to the cathedral town and Roman ruins of Rottenburg. And if you have some time before or after the workshops, rent a car to climb up to the Hohenzollern castle, probably the most well-known German castle after Neuschwanstein.
