The 2026 ICON·S Annual Conference starts today!
We are delighted to welcome our global public law community to Dublin for the beginning of this year’s Annual Conference.
Dublin is almost here.
With just 3 days to go until the 2026 Annual Conference, we are looking forward to welcoming scholars from around the world for a week of exchange, debate and connection.
See you very soon!
As part of the 2026 Annual Conference, a series of ECR-focused events will take place across the conference week, from pre-conference workshops to dedicated moments during the programme.
See the schedule for an overview of these spaces for exchange and professional development.
