The organizers of the VII Foro de Derecho Internacional Privado have issued a call for papers for the next edition of the Forum, which will take place at the University of Alcalá (Madrid, Spain) on 29–30 October 2026.

The Foro Europeo de Derecho Internacional Privado (FEDIPr) is a permanent seminar devoted to the study of issues arising from transnational private relationships through regular meetings focused on discussion and debate. The Forum aims to contribute to legal scholarship and scientific progress through an empirical, comparative, functional, and multidisciplinary methodology, while serving as a meeting place for specialists in Private International Law.

This year’s Forum will address new trends in the following thematic areas:

  • General International Law
  • Private International Law concerning persons, family, and succession
  • International Business Transactions
  • Alternative Dispute Resolution methods
  • Nationality and Migration Law

Comparative and geographically diverse perspectives are expressly welcome. Submissions in English, French, Italian or Portuguese are accepted.

The Forum is open to academics and practitioners wishing to participate through papers and communications. Abstracts should be submitted by 15 June 2026 to Professor Ana Fernández Pérez (a.fernandezperez@uah.es) and Noelia Fernández Avello (n.fernandeza@uah.es). Submissions should include the title of the proposed paper together with a short abstract.

Selected participants will be notified on 18 June 2026. The Scientific Committee will evaluate proposals on the basis of relevance, quality, and originality.

Final versions of accepted papers must be submitted by 15 September 2026. Contributions may be written in Spanish, English, or French and should not exceed 25 pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt for the main text and 10 pt for footnotes).
