The International Forum on the Future of Constitutionalism welcomes you to The Global Summit, a first-of-its-kind multi-lingual and multi-timezone academic event for scholars of all ranks around the world, from undergraduate students to senior professors. 

 

The Global Summit offers the opportunity to showcase ideas in all areas of constitutionalism, to highlight publications, to engage in rewarding intellectual exchange, and to enjoy occasions for informal interaction.

The Call for Papers is available in six different languages: Chinese (Simplified) or (Traditional), English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish. Submissions are welcome in any of these six languages.

 

How to Submit a Paper or Panel

Registrants are invited to propose one fully-formed panel consisting of no more than 6 persons in total, including one chair and one optional discussant. If you would like to identify other scholars in order to build a fully-formed panel on a theme of shared interest, scholars may find each other at this Facebook group

Alternatively, registrants are invited to make one individual submission. The Convening Committee will group individual submissions by theme into panels.
