XX. International Conference on
Patristic Studies
Oxford
2.-6. August 2027
The International Conference on Patristics Studies meets under the auspices of the Faculty of Theology and Religion, and the Faculty of Classics, of the University of Oxford

Only three years from the last
conference, we invite you to Oxford!
To get back to our pre-Covid four
year cycle, the next conference will
be in 2027.
In a few days, you can submit your
new abstract and register for the
upcoming conference here via
our website.
So, please watch out to secure a place
at the always over-subscribed
gathering, as we work on a first comes
first saved principle.
In addition, the earlier you register,
the lower the fees are.
The proceedings of the 2024 conference are
in the making - over 400 short articles and
workshop contributions have been handed
in, are in the process of being peer reviewed,
and those that were accepted will be
layaouted and go to press.
The proceedings will appear towards the
end of 2026.
It is our plan to then have the proceedings
of the previous two conferences (2019,
published in 2021, and 2015, published in
2017) fully open access and directly down-
loadable from the website of Peeters
Publischers (Leuven).
This new open access facility will greatly
enhance the visibility and availability of
your contributions.
Workshops and workshop papers
Again, colleagues interested in convening workshops and become co-editors of the papers presented at their workshops (with added papers to complement the respective topics) are invited to submit proposals soon.
Think about a relevant topic, write a short abstract, including the contributors and potential titles of their contributions. After the director's review and acceptance, workshop participants can register.
The conditions are:
- contributors to workshops should come from two different countries
- the workshop proposer has to be registered
- potential contributors have to be registered, so that the workshop can finally be accepted.
The submission for workshop proposals will soon open.
