HEPP6: Call for Papers out now!

The HEPP6 Call for Papers is officially out! The conference will take place on 18-20 May, 2026, in Helsinki and online. We will be accepting paper and panel submissions until 31 October 2025.

We are thrilled to announce that the Call for Papers for the 6th Helsinki Conference on Emotions, Populism, and Polarisation (HEPP6) is officially out! Come join us in (hopefully) sunny Helsinki on 18-20 May, 2026. You'll get to take advantage of the long, bright evenings to continue the conversations you start over the coffee breaks. Of course, as with previous HEPP conferences, HEPP6 will also be fully hybrid, so we also welcome online participants.

We're already hard at work putting together another great programme, and we hope to have you with us!

This year's is organised in collaboration with the Horizon Europe project and is co-funded by the European Commission. Views expressed here only reflect the views of the conference organising team, not the position of the European Commission.    

You can find the link to the CfP page, which includes further information and submission links, and below. Please submit your papers and pre-formed panels by 31 October 2025. We look forward to reading your contributions soon!
