Are you preparing a grant proposal, a special issue, an edited book, or setting up a new research network? The EISA Exploratory Symposia offers an excellent opportunity to meet in groups to pursue collaborative work.

The Exploratory Symposia aim to facilitate two kinds of research groups:

    1. Newly established groups that would like to meet at an early stage of a research project to progress it;
    2. Already established research groups that would like to meet to work out how to further their research agenda.

We encourage in particular participants and section chairs of the Pan-European Conference (PEC) on International Relations and European Workshops in International Studies (EWIS) to apply to continue their work through the Exploratory Symposia.

In 2026, EISA will host its 13th Exploratory Symposia for members in the town of Rapallo on the Portofino Coast in Italy, 25th October to 28th October 2026.

Insurance

 

The registration fee does not include participant’s insurance against accidents, sickness, cancellation, theft, property damage or loss.
All participants are advised to take out adequate personal insurance.

Please take note of the  EISA policy on non-fulfilment of commitments. Each year EISA receives many more applications for places at each of our events than we have places available. We therefore take the commitment to attend and participate in our events seriously. It is EISA policy that anyone who fails to adhere to the registration deadline of any event, before which time you could cancel your participation, will be penalized. Anyone found to be in non-fulfilment of their commitments to EISA will not be allowed to participate in any EISA events for a calendar year. Exemptions to this on medical or other exceptional grounds will be considered but please note that withdrawals past the deadline due to lack of funding or other professional or personal commitments are not considered sufficient reasons for partial refunds or for exemption from non-fulfilment of commitment penalties.
