Events
Throughout the year numerous IMISCOE events are organised, in the context of research clusters, publication events, PhD training, etc. The most important item on the annual agenda of IMISCOE is the Annual Conference, which has been organised every year since 2004 by one of IMISCOE's member institutes. In 2026 the 23th Annual Conference will be held in Girona and online.
Another annual event is the Spring Conference taking place in Toronto and online in 2027.
Besides the IMISCOE annual conferences, various events are organised throughout the year. At least once a year a smaller academic seminar is organised by one of the IMISCOE member institutes. In addition, numerous events are organised by the various Standing Committees.
