Conferences

The yearly ESJP conference is an important space for the network to engage in person or online. Over the years the conference has taken different formats, from multi-day physical conferences to one-day digital meet-ups, ranging from larger academic meetings to smaller retreats , some with practical action and others with community engagement.  It is up to the organisers to choose the format and set the agenda (in dialogue with the ESJP coordination committee to maintain the ethos and values of ESJP). We welcome and encourage offers to host future conferences from active members of our network.
