Wondering about submitting your proposal to the inaugural @epssnet.bsky.social conference? See 👇🏻 and its exciting new panel formats.

You have the choice next year between the for-profit and the not-for-profit model of a European political science conference👇. I don’t think there needs to be said anything more on this. Looking forward to seeing many at @epssnet.bsky.social

For #migcitsky folks - consider submitting to @epssnet.bsky.social and the migration section led by the ever-capable @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social and @aalrababah.bsky.social

I have been at every single EPSA conference since EPSA was founded. I am excited to attend EPSS 2026 in Dublin - below some clarifications on EPSA and EPSS

Do consider joining the new EPSS conference in Belfast next year! I will be chairing the section on Political Representation with Sven-Oliver Proksch @sopro.bsky.social

This is an important opportunity for European poli sci: contribute to getting EPSS off to a fantastic start by submitting your work to next year’s conference. I’m section chair for Migration Politics together with @aalrababah.bsky.social and can’t wait to see the cool mig research you have for us 🔥

Really important PSA: it currently looks like there may be both an EPSS and an EPSA conference next summer. Please make sure people in your networks understand this distinction (see thread below).

Some clarification on next year‘s EPSS conference in Belfast - not-for-profit, the place to be, and lots of fun! Join us! Call for papers here:

Alongside @psaepop.bsky.social , EPSA is the best conference I've been to. And that's due to the people, and the people deserve that their fees go back to improving their work. Unlike the last 6 or so years, I'll not be at EPSA, but instead EPSS. Even though I love Prague.

Please share this thread. It is important that political scientists, in Europe and across the world, understand why EPSS exists and why we are encouraging people to attend our inaugural conference, in Belfast next June.

Andy Eggers (@aeggers.bsky.social) and I are co-chairing the Political Methodology section for EPSS 2026 in Belfast. Please submit a paper, full panel proposals, or suggestions for alternative formats (such as roundtables and lightning rounds). ➡️ epssnet.org/belfast-2026... @epssnet.bsky.social

Participating in a for-profit conference (EPSA) can be problematic in the context of German academia, as it may be interpreted as commissioning a service without a proper public tender... joining #EPSS makes it easy to avoid trouble!

Please read and share with your communities. 💌

EPSA have announced that they will hold a conference in July 2026. 😵‍💫 We understand that there might be some confusion about EPSS and EPSA. 👉🏽 So we thought we would clarify some things. A short 🧵

I can't wait to see #Belfast and support an academic non-profit environment. #EPSS

Feels like a good time to share this call for papers. Can't wait for EPSS 2026!

Time to learn about politics in other countries… Anyone need a co-author who brings little to the table?!

You can already submit your paper and panel proposal for EPSS next year. Looking forward to seeing many people in Belfast. I will be there.
