IQSA 2025 Annual Meeting Goes Hybrid + Extended CFP (June 15) & Preview of Vienna 2026

Dear IQSA colleagues,

After careful consideration of the increasing travel difficulties affecting many of our members, the Board of Directors has voted to add a full virtual track to the IQSA 2025 Annual Meeting, 13–16 November 2025, hosted on the Loyola Marymount University campus in Los Angeles. (IQSA 2025 Annual Meeting)

What this means for you

U.S.-based scholars: We warmly encourage you to attend on campus to enjoy face-to-face discussions, bookstore exhibits, and informal networking in sunny Los Angeles.

Non-U.S.-based scholars: If you plan to attend in person, we would be delighted to see you in Los Angeles. If you are unable to or choose not to attend in person, you can fully participate virtually, presenting your work and connecting with colleagues globally. 

Already submitted a paper? Log in to your Fourwaves account, open your submission, and select “In-person” or “Virtual” under “Presentation Type.” You may switch formats at any time before submissions close.

Still drafting? The Call-for-Papers deadline is extended to June 15 2025.

Travel support & documentation

  • Travel grants: A limited number of need-based grants will be offered for both in-person and virtual presenters; details and application instructions will follow in a separate announcement.
  • Invitation letters: If you require an official letter for visa or institutional funding, email contactus@iqsaweb.org and our team will prepare one promptly.

Looking ahead—Vienna 2026

Mark your calendars now: IQSA 2026 will convene in Vienna, Austria, in July 2026. Exact dates and venue details will be circulated once finalised.


Thank you for your flexibility and for helping us make IQSA gatherings accessible to scholars worldwide. We look forward to seeing many of you in Los Angeles—and online—this November. Questions? Write to contactus@iqsaweb.org.
