Workshops and Sessions > Formats of Proposals
Focusing on the conference theme, the Swiss Sociological Congress 2026 invites sociologists and members of related disciplines to contribute to these debates and beyond. We welcome proposals for semi-plenary sessions and workshops from theoretical, methodological, empirical, and transdisciplinary perspectives.
Other contributions relevant to the research networks of the Swiss Sociological Association are also welcome.
Languages: Sessions can be held in German, French, and English.

Workshop sessions
Proposal (by 15 November 2025):
