Call for Contributions

eucen opens a Call for Contributions twice a year?

  • around January for the eucen Annual Conference
  • around June for the eucen Autumn Seminar

Calls are an opportunity to share your work during our events and might be a way to publish your work too.

The current eucen Call for Contributions connected to issue 8(2) of the European Journal of University Lifelong Learning (EJULL) is closed now. This Call for Contributions was connected to the:

54th eucen Annual Conference

Cork (IE), 29-31 May 2024

ULLL Positive Change in Challenging Times

We are sorry if you missed this call, but in June 2024 we will launch the next one – do not miss it! The topic will be around sustainability and skills for a greener future and will be connected to the 2024 Autumn Seminar.

Our EJULL journal’s diverse readership includes researchers, practitioners and policymakers and we invite submissions that seek to engage specifically with one or more of those groups of readers. 

What happens if we invite an author of an abstract to submit a Full Paper?

The authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper to EJULL. Once the manuscript is received, reviewed and accepted, the paper will be included in one of the next issues of the European Journal of University Lifelong Learning (EJULL). 

We welcome submission for three kinds of papers: 

  1.  Research papers drawing on theoretical debates or empirical research, contextualised within current national and international policy debate, which develop the theoretical base of the field or report on empiricala research done.   Length: max. 3000-5000 words  
  2.  Innovative Practice/Short papers including critical evaluations to share and discuss specific projects or practical approaches that either are in progress or have been completed. Length: max. 2000-3000 words  
  3.  Discussion papers presenting an informed opinion or reflection on current research and policy developments on university lifelong learning. Length: max. 1000-2000 words 

All research papers undergo a double-blind review. Innovative practice/Short papers and Discussion papers are reviewed by one of the editorial board members. 

 

EDITORIAL PROCESS OF THE FULL PAPERS:

Visit the eucen Studies page for the details on the current call. 

HOUSE STYLE

Please, always use the House Style in your manuscripts to avoid delaying or jeopardising the peer-review process.
