 Call for organising ECREA's 11th European Communication Conference 2026
(deadline: 11 January 2024)
11.10.2023 10:35 |

*ECREA is opening a call for proposals for the hosting and organisation of
the 2026 edition of the European Communication Conferences.*

ECREA conferences have been taken place in different parts of Europe from
Amsterdam (2005) to Ljubljana (forthcoming in 2024) proposing opportunities
to show the know-how and the activities of the organising institution(s)
and to foster the energy and creativity of the organisers around a large
international project.

The Executive Board of ECREA has developed a framework document – Terms of
Reference
<https://ecrea.eu/resources/Documents/Document%20archive%20-%20Conferences/TOR%20for%2011thECC.pdf>
to define the format and give guidelines for the organisation of such a
conference.

Interested members are asked to submit proposals for hosting the 2026
European Communication Conference. The institution hosting the Conference
has to be active in the field of communication research and/or education
and have sufficient experience and sufficient capacity (staff and support)
to prepare and run the event.

The proposal for hosting the 2026 European Communication Conference must
take the form of a document where candidate host institutions will: 1)
Describe their general vision of the event (including the location, timing,
duration and their organisational capacity). 2) Explicitly engage
themselves to meet ECREA's requirements described in the Terms of Reference
for Organising ECREA’s 11th European Communication Conference 2026 and
provide the basic information regarding the way their proposal will meet
ECREA's requirements. 3) Propose a draft financial plan. 4) Sketch out the
strengths and weaknesses associated with the proposal.

Please note that more than one institution can join forces and present a
conjoint proposal, as long as they are in the same geographical area.
Deadline and submission

Proposals must be submitted by *Thursday, 11. January, 2024**.* The
proposals must be sent by e-mail (attachment in .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .pdf
format) to info at ecrea.eu .

The ECREA Executive Board will then select one institution to act as local
host, and possibly one runner-up to step in, in case the selected host
encounters unforeseen difficulties.
Timeline

ECC conferences are normally held in October-November (unless the local
host argues otherwise). The selection of the host for the conference will
be decided upon at least two years prior to the event.

The timetable will be as follows:

   - *11. October, 2023*: the call for applications is open. Each
   candidate-host turns in a summary project describing how they see the
   event, where, how, etc.

   - *11. January, 2024*: the call is closed. The Board considers
   applications and selects one which complies with all criteria, including
   the strategic priorities of the Board. Contacts are made with candidates
   for further information where necessary.

   - *11. March 2024*: The Board announces the selected host institution to
   all institutional members that have applied. The selected institution is
   asked to develop a full organisational plan in close cooperation with
   ECREA’s Board. The full plan is to be ready by mid June 2024. If
   appropriate, the Board also selects a runner-up institution to host the
   conference should the selected institution be unable to deliver.

   - *June, 2024*: The Board examines the full proposal and decides on its
   approval. If necessary, the organisers are given one more month to
   fine-tune the proposal (with assistance of the Executive Board).

   - *24 September –27 September, 2024*: the ECC2026 conference host is
   announced at in Ljubljana.

   - *October – November, 2026*: ECC2026 takes place.

We are accepting inquires from the academic institutions interested in
organizing the conference. For any inquiry, please contact ECREA admin
info at ecrea.eu .

We are looking forward to receiving your proposals!
