EAJS2026: Poznań, Poland

Conference

EAJS2026, the 18th International Conference of the European Association for Japanese Studies (EAJS) will be hosted in Poznań, Poland on 27-30 August 2026.

Poznań, a vibrant city in western Poland with over half a million residents and a metropolitan area approaching one million, sits at the intersection of major European transport routes. Its strategic location has long fostered cultural diversity, establishing Poznań as a vital meeting point in Central Europe.

EAJS2026 in Poznań will be a hybrid conference, allowing participants to join any panel either in person or virtually.

Conference is organized in cooperation with NomadIT

Travel and accommodation
Conference organisers are currently working to secure some discounts for accommodation in Poznań, as well as reduced fares with selected airlines.

We will share further details as soon as they become available, most probably around the registration opening (April 27).

📢 Phishing scam alert
There are phishing emails circulating this year pretending to be a conference accommodation booking service.

We do NOT book accommodation for conference delegates, so please delete these emails on receipt and do not, under any circumstances, share your card details.

The scammers appear to be using several email addresses such as booking(at)gtravelexpert.com, sometimes hidden behind a conference-related name.

All genuine conference communication will originate from eajs(at)nomadit.co.uk
