We are pleased to announce that the next European Conference on Politics and Gender (ECPG) will be hosted by Newcastle University, United Kingdom in 2026! The event will take place from Monday 15 June to Wednesday 17 June 2026.

Located in the northeast of England, Newcastle is a vibrant city known for its rich industrial heritage, world-class universities, striking architecture and buzzing nightlife. The diverse and vibrant city offers a welcoming atmosphere, excellent transport links, and a lively mix of tradition and innovation. But what truly sets it apart is its people – warm, welcoming, and famously friendly – making it an ideal location for academic exchange and collaboration.

We warmly thank the local organising team for their generous offer and support in hosting the conference in this vibrant city. 

The local Organising Committee consists of:

• Maarja Luhiste 
• Jemima Repo
• Megan Armstrong
• Alison Phipps

More information about the timeline for the conference and a call for Sections and Papers will follow in due time. In the meantime, please save the date in your calendars.
