About
The Cambridge Undergraduate Conference in German Studies will return on 27th-28th February 2026. The Schools Programme will take place in the afternoon of Friday 27th February. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
Registration
Registration for schools and university students will open in early 2026.
Call for Papers
The Call for Papers will be released towards the end of 2025.
Schools Programme
In addition to our general programming, the conference features a series of workshops and activities just for school students (and their teachers or guardians). The sessions do not overlap with planned breaks, including lunch, but take place in parallel with undergraduate presentations. Undergraduate presentations are not tailored specifically for school students but welcome all attendees.
Details of the Schools Programme will be released as soon as they are available.
Schedule
The schedule will be uploaded here once it is available.
Partners
Funding for the Conference comes from the Schröder Fund and the DAAD.
