Conference Proposal

Seminar-supported conferences come from the work of a seminar and must be proposed by a chair or member of the seminar. Conferences may not be organized and run solely by graduate students or post-docs. 

Conference proposals are reviewed twice per year.

The deadlines for applications are September 15 and March 15. 

After the proposal has been submitted, an email confirmation will be sent from Submittable, a non-CU, third party application. Please add notifications@email.submittable.com to your contact list to ensure you receive all communications regarding your application. 

While the Conference Committee makes every effort to review proposals in a timely manner, responses may take up to two months and, if necessary, the committee may ask for additional materials or clarifications. Submitters may edit a submission only at the request of the committee. 

The status of the proposal can be checked at any time by logging into Submittable. 

Guidelines are found in The University Seminars Administrative Portal.
