Accepted Panels

The list below shows all panels that have been accepted to be part of the conference programme.

Panels with Open still have participant slots available, meaning you can apply to the panel convener by submitting your paper proposal through the Conference Platform.

Panels with Closed have already reached the maximum number of participants and therefore cannot accept further applications. All participants, including pre-confirmed participants (whose papers were already included in the panel proposal), must also register and submit their proposal through the Conference Platform.

When one of the formats listed below becomes full/closed, we kindly ask convenors to email us at contact@euroseas2026.org so that we can update the panel status accordingly.

More information about specific panels can be found in the documents accessible from each panel page here.
