26–28 February 2027 · Rotterdam, the Netherlands
A Gender Conference Built for Research, Dialogue, and Impact — share research, receive feedback, and build lasting academic connections.
The International Conference on Gender and Society will take place from 26–28 February 2027 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This gender conference responds to an important academic need: gender is not only a topic within one field. By bringing these areas together, the event supports stronger research exchange and helps participants see how their work connects with wider social questions.
Participants will have the opportunity to present their work, receive constructive feedback from international experts, meet scholars with shared interests, and explore publication pathways after the review process. The programme also includes a complimentary guided tour on the second day, giving attendees a more relaxed setting to continue conversations while experiencing Rotterdam.
The gender equality conference welcomes research on gender and society from a wide range of disciplines and encourages interdisciplinary work. Submissions are organised across 14 thematic tracks spanning 320+ topics — from social change and equality to LGBTQ+ studies, education, work, health, technology, and beyond.
This gender research conference gives participants the chance to present their findings to a global academic community — especially valuable for researchers who want their work to reach collaborators beyond their own institution or country.
Presenters gain clear, practical feedback from scholars and specialists who understand the value of careful research — helping authors strengthen their arguments and methodology and prepare their work for publication.
Structured networking sessions help participants connect beyond short introductions, supporting meaningful academic exchange, future collaboration, and stronger international research networks.
Accepted work may be considered for conference proceedings or other publication opportunities. Details on indexing, journals, ISBN, ISSN, DOI, and related options will be announced later.
Attend onsite or virtually, making the conference accessible to scholars from different regions, institutions, and career stages. You can also attend as a listener if you do not have research to present at the moment.
Attendees enjoy a complimentary guided tour on the second day — space for informal networking, cultural discovery, and a welcome break from the academic programme.
A Committee Built to Support Detailed and Fair Academic Review
This first edition is supported by an international academic committee committed to fair review, strong research standards, and a credible conference programme.

From Conference Presentation to Stronger Research Visibility
The conference provides authors with two publishing options. First, papers can be published in conference proceedings (with ISSN, DOI, and Google Scholar indexing) to improve discoverability and contribute to the broader landscape of gender studies conferences 2027.
Second, papers can be submitted to SCOPUS / DOAJ / Google Scholar-indexed journals, though acceptance depends on the journal editors. All submissions must first pass a plagiarism check before peer review; any detected plagiarism results in automatic rejection at any stage.
Mark these deadlines to make the most of your participation. Notification of acceptance is sent within 7–14 business days after submission, and full papers are due up to 3 weeks after the conference.
