 The XXIX International Congress of Onomastic Sciences is coming to Vienna, Austria, 16–20 August 2027, and the call for workshop and session proposals is now open.

Organised under the auspices of the International Council of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS), the congress is hosted by the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Austrian Geographical Society. The congress theme is "Names as Condensed Narratives" - an invitation to reflect on how names carry stories about the people, places, and communities they denote, and about those who give them. Proposals need not address the theme directly; all areas of onomastic research are welcome. icos27-vienna

You are cordially invited to submit proposals for workshops and sessions via icos27-vienna.at. Proposals should be 200–300 words. Note that workshops and sessions work slightly differently: workshop organisers invite their own speakers, while sessions are filled by paper submitters who choose to affiliate their abstract with a given session.

The deadline for workshop and session proposals is 31 May 2026. A call for papers will follow in July 2026, with a paper submission deadline at the end of October 2026.

The congress will take place in the premises of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna's historical centre, with capacity for up to 500 participants across six parallel sessions. All presentations will be in English.

Don't miss the deadline - it's just a month away!
