ISA Forum of Sociology

We look forward to welcoming you onsite in Morocco! There will be no options available for presenting or attending online. Please plan accordingly.

On December 5, 2024, all authors that have submitted an abstract via the CONFEX platform will receive a notification letter with the final decision.

The ISA does not require you to send a full paper as a requirement for presenting at the Forum. However, some RC/WG/TG session organizers do require full papers to be submitted in advance. Please contact the session organizer directly to learn about their specific requirements.

We are confident in our ability to ensure the safety and security of LGBTQIA+ Forum attendees while at the conference. Please review the ISA Statement regarding concerns from LGBTQIA+ members about the 5th ISA Forum of Sociology here

 In the ISA Forum, being a session organizer is different from being a session chair. The session organizer manages the overall content and session framing, while the session chair is physically present to moderate the session. This can be the same person or different people. However, it is not possible to present a paper and chair the same session where that paper is presented.

We appreciate your interest in the 5th ISA Forum of Sociology. Limited grants will be available for those with accepted abstracts to be presented at the conference. The first step is to submit an abstract. The call for abstracts closes on October 15, 2024, at 24:00 GMT, with no extensions.

• You can find more information about the call for abstracts here.
• Please also refer to the FAQ here, where you can find details on "How do I submit an abstract?"

Between October 16 and December 4, 2024, Program Coordinators and Session Organizers will select the final abstracts for the Forum. Starting December 5, 2024, those with an accepted abstract can apply for the following grants:

• Registration grants: Applications are through the RC/WG/TG to which you submitted your abstract. Review the rules for registration grants here.
• Lodging grants: Presenters from B & C category countries can apply for lodging grants at Mohammed V University’s student dormitories. Students will be prioritized for these grants, and accommodation requires a security deposit. The application process opens on December 6, 2024.
• No travel grants are available at the ISA level. However, some RC/WG/TG may have limited funding options. Please contact your RC/WG/TG Program Coordinator.

After December 6, 2024, you may request an acceptance letter to apply for external funding.
