Abstracts are invited for the paper sessions and round tables listed below by September 19, 2025, 23.59 CET. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted directly to the chairs, along with the applicant’s name, email address, professional affiliation, address, telephone number and a short curriculum vitae (maximum one page).
Sessions will consist of 4-5 papers, with time for dialogue and questions at the end. Presentations should be limited to 15–20 minutes each. For example, a session with 4 papers may allow up to 20 minutes per presentation, while a session with 5 papers should limit each to 15–18 minutes. Abstracts for presentations should define the subject and summarize the argument to be presented in the proposed paper. The content of that paper should be the product of well-documented original research that is primarily analytical and interpretative rather than descriptive in nature.
Round tables will consist of five to ten participants and an extended time for dialogue, debate and discussion among chair(s) and public. Each discussant will have 5-10 minutes to present a position. Abstracts for round table debates should summarize the position to be taken in the discussion.
Papers may not have been previously published, nor presented in public. Only one submission per author will be accepted. No participant may serve both as a chair of a session or round table and as a speaker or discussant in another session or round table. Members of the EAHN board may submit proposals to sessions or roundtables.
All abstracts will be held in confidence during the selection process. In addition to the thematic sessions and round tables listed below, open sessions may be announced. With the author’s approval, thematic session chairs may choose to recommend for inclusion in an open session an abstract that was submitted to, but does not fit into, a thematic session.
Session and round table chairs will notify all authors of the acceptance or rejection of their proposals, along with comments, by 21 November 2025. Chairs reserve the right to recommend revisions to abstracts to better align them with the session or round table program. Accepted speakers must submit their revised abstracts to the chairs by 19 December 2025.
Authors of accepted paper proposals must submit the complete text of their papers (suitable for a 15–20-minute presentation) to their session chair, or a full draft of their discussion position (for a 5–10 minute presentation) to their round table chair, by 20 February 2026. Chairs may suggest editorial revisions to ensure the paper or discussion position meets the session or round table's guidelines. These comments will be returned to speakers by 13 March 2026.
Speakers must complete any final revisions and send the final version of their paper or discussion position to the chair(s) by 17 April 2026. Chairs reserve the right to withhold a paper or discussion position from the program if the author fails to comply with these guidelines.
It is the responsibility of chairs to inform participants of these guidelines and the general expectations for sessions and participation in the meeting. All speakers and chairs must fund their own registration, travel, and expenses to attend the conference in Aarhus, Denmark.
Only registered participants will be included in the final program.
The final program of sessions and round tables will be announced in late April or early May 2026.
Please note: EAHN 2026 will not publish formal proceedings. Final papers and discussion texts are for the use of chairs only, to read and/or circulate prior to the conference.
