EuConst is a peer-reviewed English-language journal published by Cambridge University Press that seeks to advance the study of European constitutional law, its history and its evolution. Its four issues per year contain articles on doctrine, theory and practice, plus case notes and review essays.

Aim
Each year EuConst organises a symposium for early-career scholars, where selected participants present their research. The aim of the symposium is to offer participants a stimulating intellectual exchange, provide detailed feedback on participants’ work by EuConst editorial board members, as well as to build an intellectual network of young and more established scholars in the field of European constitutional law.
We invite participants to apply with a paper abstract that falls within the remit of the journal. We welcome papers that deal with EU constitutional law, fundamental rights law, comparative constitutional law, national constitutional law that has importance beyond the country studied, as well as papers with a theoretical focus.

What we offer
-       Extensive feedback on your paper by the editorial board members of EuConst and other scholars present.
-       An intellectually stimulating exchange.
-       Reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs.
-       The chance to connect with emerging and more established scholars in the field of European constitutional law.

What we expect
Applicants are requested to submit:
-       A paper abstract of 400 to 800 words.
-       Curriculum vitae.
The abstract should provide a roadmap of the paper – it should tell us what the author plans to do, lay out the major argument of the paper and indicate the methodology used.
If selected, participants will be asked to submit a full paper for the symposium of 10,000 words maximum.

Deadlines
The application deadline is 3 March 2025. Applications should be sent to [email protected] (subject: EuConst 2025 symposium). Decisions on accepted paper abstracts will be communicated by 17 March 2025. Authors whose proposals are accepted will be expected to submit full papers by 6 June 2025.

Publication
The symposium aims to help participants publish their work. The board of editors will be happy to consider papers presented at the symposium for publication in EuConst, subject to the usual double-blind peer review process.

The EuConst 2025 Symposium for Early-Career Scholars is supported by the Luiss Department of Law and the Luiss Department of Political Science in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, Faculty of Law.
