FAQ

How do I register for the colloquium?

Full information on how to register is available on the registration page.

Is the event programme available?

You can find the provisional programme here.

How do I get to Bolzano/Bozen?

Bolzano/Bozen is well connected by rail and has an airport. Please see the venue information page on the Eurac website for full details.

Is financial support available?

We do not make a surplus from running the event, so the amount of financial support we can offer is limited. However, we do have some funding available from IPSA to support attendance at the event and will endeavor to provide a select pool of graduate students/early career academics with a bursary to partially cover travel expenses to Bolzano/Bozen. Please identify your eligibility and if you wish to be considered for a bursary when registering. The decision on the pool of recipients will be made in May 2026. 

How are the panels organised?

Paper-givers will have 12 to 15 minutes to give an overview of their paper, highlighting their findings, methods, purpose and significance of the study. Discussants will have 10 to 12 minutes to comment on the contributions of papers and to identify connecting themes. Chairs will open and close the session, keep participants to time, and facilitate discussion with the audience. Papers should be submitted by [date TBA] and will be circulated to panel members at that time. The Q&A session is largely audience driven; chairs are encouraged to collect questions from several audience members at a time, to allow for further linking of themes and questions for the benefit of all panel participants.
