Deadline: November 30, 2025
The organisers of the 11th European Communication Conference (ECC2026) invite submissions of proposals for pre-conference events.
Pre-conferences are events that function independently from the main conference, each having its own program, budget, organisation, and logistics. The pre-conference organisers have full autonomy to define the thematic focus and design the format, duration, schedule, presentation style, and usage of innovative elements. They are also responsible for the peer-review process, which is separate from the review process of the main conference.
The pre-conference should occur before the main ECREA 2026 conference, ideally in Brno or nearby locations between 5 and 7 September 2026.
The ECC2026 Local Organising Committee may be able to help with contacts to possible locations in Brno. Still, the pre-conference organisers are responsible for securing the venue and catering for the pre-conference. For any inquiries regarding pre-conference organisation, please contact: info@ecrea2026brno.eu
Proposal Submission
The proposal for pre-conference (500-800 words) should include:
- title and thematic rationale of the pre-conference,
- date and location (if already available),
- general format (full-day or half-day event),
- brief presentation of the pre-conference organisers,
- institutional links to ECREA (e.g., if the pre-conference is organised or endorsed by one of ECREA’s Temporary Working Groups, Networks, or Sections),
- expected number of participants and budget (please note that participation fees for ECREA members should be lower than fees for non-members).
Please send the proposal in English as a PDF or Word document to info@ecrea2026brno.eu by 30 November. The local organising committee will evaluate the proposals and select pre-conferences. The proposals will be evaluated by 19 December 2025.
Upon selection, pre-conferences will be promoted via the ECC2026 website and communication channels and the ECREA website and communication channels.
