Conferences bring researchers together to share current findings, establish new collaborations, and foster interdisciplinary exchange. Organizing academic conferences requires planning, budgeting, communication, and logistical coordination—skills that are highly valued in many fields. This workshop offers doctoral students the opportunity to gain practical insights into the organization of academic conferences!

In July 2025, the annual conference of the European Academy of Religion (EuARe) will take place in Vienna. The conference is organized by the Research Centre Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society (RaT). A corresponding course will be offered alongside the conference, providing students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in organizing academic conferences.

The first session of the course on May 19 from 9.45am to 1pm will also be available as a standalone session for members of the VDTR and will provide a fundamental introduction to conference organization and the role of conferences as a platform for academic exchange.
