The General Programme Outline

for 2026 is now available!

All panel organisers should work with the general programme template for scheduling papers.

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 want to utilise all sessions across the full week.)


Panels will be hosted across three sites on the Maynooth University campus:

  • The TSI building on the North Campus of the university
  • The IONTAS building, also on the North Campus 
  • The University Library 

Currently, we plan to serve tea & coffee in the morning (at all 3 sites) and afternoon breaks (only in the TSI). 

Daily lunch, for any who purchase that option, will be served in the Pugin Hall on the St. Patrick's College campus. This will also be the venue for the final conference dinner on the 17th of July.
