The International James Joyce Foundation is sponsoring up to ten scholarships for graduate students and early career researchers to attend ‘This is Dyoublong’: The XXXth International James Joyce Symposium.  Scholarships can be used to cover early bird registration and travel and accommodation costs (the value of recipients’ awards will be determined by the scholarship committee up to a maximum of €1,000).

Applicants should submit a copy of their paper abstract, a brief cv, and an indication of likely costs as email attachments and also arrange for a letter of recommendation to be sent separately with the applicant’s name listed clearly in the subject line. 

Scholarship applications should be submitted to the academic committee at ijjfkrakow2026@gmail.com by 16 February 2026. Applicants should indicate in the subject line that they are applying for the scholarship. Applicants submitting abstracts as part of a panel proposal should send a separate email to the academic committee with all the requested materials attached. To ensure that a wide range of graduate students and early career researchers benefit from the scholarship programme, previous recipients of the award are ineligible to apply.

From the organisers: we have secured a limited number of budget accommodation for students without scholarships in single (190 PLN/night + breakfast 32 PLN) and twin rooms (290PLN/room/night + breakfast 32 PLN) which will be made available through the conference registration system.

The deadline for paper or panel proposals is 2 February 2026. Proposals should be sent (as attachments: doc, docx, or pdf) to the academic committee at ijjfkrakow2026@uj.edu.pl  

To propose an individual 20 minute paper (approx. 2,600 words), please submit a 250-word abstract that includes

• speaker’s name 
• academic affiliation (if applicable)
• paper title

To propose a panel, the chair should submit a 500-word abstract for the panel as a whole that includes

• names, academic affiliations, and email addresses of all participants;
• the title of the panel 
• titles of each individual paper;
• the name and affiliation of the panel chair and respondent (if any).

Please also include any access or scheduling requirements in your submission.

Please note that participants are limited to one paper and one non-paper panel appearance (e.g. as panel chair or respondent). Proposed panels may have a maximum of four speakers, in which case papers should be 15 minutes (approx. 1,950 words). The panel chair may also give a paper, in which instance it is customary for the panel chair to be scheduled last.
