Call for Papers
Individual Call for Papers, for panels seeking to recruit contributors, will remain open until the 31st March 2026.
Panel organisers may set their own internal deadlines for calls (e.g. in Feb. or mid.-March), but the final programme for each panel must then be submitted to the Organising Committee - c/o classics@mu.ie - by the end of March.

Any further conference questions or queries can be directed to your hosts at classics@mu.ie
Advice on Recruiting a Panel
Panel organisers are responsible for developing and disseminating any subsequent Call for Papers for their panel.
CCC is an ‘in-person conference’, attendance is expected of all proposing/presenting papers - please only present a proposal if you intend to be in Maynooth next summer. Online participation is not an option.
All contributors should use the paper proposal template (HERE) when submitting details of their individual paper.
In general, the CCC would recommend 10 as minimum number and 15 as maximum number of speakers per panel.
Panel organisers should work with the general programme template (HERE) for scheduling.
- Considering that each slot of the conference has a duration of 50 min., and that a minimum of 10 min. of this time has to be kept for discussion of the presentations, two types of paper per slot are accepted: one of 40 min. or two of 20 min.
- From experience, the CCC recommends papers of 35-40 mins, which might mean a maximum of some 18 speakers per panel. (Though organisers may not utilise all sessions across the full week.)
Accepted languages: it is up to the panel organisers, in recruiting their panel members, to indicate their range of language(s) for academic discourse.
- All panels should in principle consider submissions in English and French.
- Papers in other languages (e.g. German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish) may be accepted at the panel organisers’ discretion.
- The organisation of the event will use English as its official language, for the sake of wide international accessibility.
NOTE: All members of each panel (organisers and speakers) are required to pay the Registration Fee, which is non-refundable.
(This applies also in any emergency cases in which a speaker proves unable to attend the conference in person.)
