Call for Papers

Conference theme: The Future of Terrorism Research in a Multi-Crisis World

The Society for Terrorism Research (STR), the School of Law and Social Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London and the Conflict, Violence and Terrorism Research Centre (CVTRC) are delighted to announce the Call for Papers for the 2025 STR Annual International Conference.

In an era of global conflict, great power rivalry, state violence, polarisation and political volatility, this conference aims to consider both the raison d’être and future of terrorism research in the context of overlapping global crises. Participants are invited to identify the key evolving topics and debates of this multi-crisis era, particularly in light of emerging hybrid terrorist ideologies and terrorist use of technological innovation and AI. In the process we hope to identify new and emerging research agendas, synergies and collaborations, in addition to showcasing cutting-edge research.

This call is open to researchers and practitioners alike and is held in-person only.

All proposals need to be submitted HERE by 11 April 2025. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the organising team via email at [email protected].
