BISA is welcoming abstract, panel and roundtable submissions from across the globe. All submissions must be in English, and will require a title, description and details of all speakers. The deadline for submissions is Friday 19 June 2026 at 11.59pm (UK time).

We hope to break down barriers for researchers at all career stages who, for various reasons including cost, care responsibilities and visa rules, might find it more difficult to participate in our in-person events.
