International Conference on Gender and Society

The International Conference on Gender and Society will take place from 26–28 February 2027 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This gender conference responds to an important academic need: gender is not only a topic within one field. By bringing these areas together, the event supports stronger research exchange and helps participants see how their work connects with wider social questions.

Participants will have the opportunity to present their work, receive constructive feedback from international experts, meet scholars with shared interests, and explore publication pathways after the review process. The programme also includes a complimentary guided tour on the second day, giving attendees a more relaxed setting to continue conversations while experiencing Rotterdam.

The most important dates to remember are as follows
