​Welcome to the 2025 Global Summit on Constitutionalism!

The Global Summit is an international conference showcasing all areas of constitutionalism. The program features plenary lectures and moderated discussions as well as concurrent panels held over the course of three days. The first edition was held in 2021. The second in 2023. The 2025 Global Summit will be the third edition.

All are welcome to submit proposals for fully-formed panels or individual paper presentations–scholars, jurists, practitioners, activists, and students of all ranks around the world. Observers are welcome but must register their attendance.

The overriding purpose of the Global Summit is to create opportunities for all to flourish in an intellectually stimulating environment committed to academic integrity, diversity, equality, freedom of speech, and inclusion. In addition to the rich menu of scholarly programming, the Global Summit offers the opportunity to engage in rewarding and collaborative intellectual exchange, and to enjoy occasions for social interaction. 

The Global Summit is hosted by the Constitutional Studies Program at the University of Texas at Austin, and presented in partnership with the International Forum on the Future of Constitutionalism.

Program

The 2025 Global Summit will be held in-person on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin on March 20-22, 2025.

The Global Summit is structured around a plenary program of keynote events.

The heart of the Global Summit will be the dozens of concurrent panels held over the course of three days. These concurrent panels will be either fully-formed panels submitted by conference registrants or panels assembled from individuals submissions received from conference registrants. 

Subject-Matter

Submissions are welcome on any subject in the study of constitutions, and from any perspective, whether comparative, doctrinal, empirical, historical, philosophical, sociological, theoretical, or beyond.

Eligibility

Submissions are welcome from scholars, jurists, practitioners, activists, and students enrolled in graduate programs anywhere in the world.

Language

English is the operating language of the 2025 Global Summit. This applies to all official communications, plenary panels, and all individual submissions.

However, fully-formed panels are welcome in any language, provided at least one panelist on the fully-formed panel can communicate in English.

Costs

There is no cost to participate in the Global Summit. Group meals will be generously sponsored by the Constitutional Studies Program. Registrants are responsible for their own travel and lodging. We encourage you to make your travel and lodging arrangements as soon as possible.
