#Cultures 2027 – International Online Congress of Studies on Cultures will take place from 6 to 9 April 2027 in a fully online format. The event was initially planned for October 2026 but required a review of its calendar, organisational structure and scientific proposal.
The change is mainly due to the absence of sufficient external funding to implement the model initially planned. In this context, the Latin American Center for Cultural Studies – CLAEC and Scientia International decided to extend the preparation period and reformulate the congress rather than reduce its programme or compromise the scientific, editorial and technological quality of the initiative.
A change designed to preserve the quality of the congress
The postponement is not merely a change of dates. The reorganisation made it possible to review the event’s operational model, expand opportunities for international participation, strengthen the digital infrastructure and establish a more suitable schedule for submissions, scientific evaluation, partnerships and publications.
The renewed edition consolidates #Cultures as a permanent digital forum dedicated to the critical and interdisciplinary study of cultures. Its proposal brings together scientific research, pedagogical practices, artistic creation, professional experience, critical reflection, institutional cooperation and public debate.
New dates: 6-9 April 2027
Format: 100% online
Organised by: CLAEC and Scientia International
Theme of the 2027 edition
The central theme of the edition will be “Cultures in the Reconfiguration of the World Order”, with the subtitle “Conflicts, Mobilities and Pluralities in the 21st Century”.
The congress is based on the understanding that current geopolitical reorganisation processes also have profound cultural dimensions. Conflicts, migrations, diasporas, digital technologies, disputes over memory, territorial transformations and new forms of belonging affect cultural policies, heritage, identities and social practices.
These issues will be discussed from an international, critical and interdisciplinary perspective, organised around eight permanent thematic axes.
New international calls
As part of the reformulation of the event, different participation opportunities are now available for researchers, students, faculty members, artists, cultural managers, professionals, research groups, graduate programmes and institutions.
Call for Submissions
The scientific call accepts contributions in seven formats:
- Scientific Research;
- Experience Report;
- Cultural Practice;
- Critical Essay;
- Pedagogical Letter;
- Artistic Creation;
- Performance or Intervention.
Submissions must be linked to one of the eight thematic axes and will be evaluated through open peer review. Contributions that are accepted, presented and approved for publication may be included in the digital congress proceedings with an individual DOI.
Final submission deadline: 28 February 2027.

Thematic Axis Partnerships

Transparency and institutional commitment

The additional preparation period will allow the congress to expand its international scientific network, consolidate partnerships, strengthen the evaluation process and provide a more accessible experience for participants.
