The Workshop aims to provide postgraduate degree research students with an opportunity to present their research to their peers, develop their feedback and engagement skills, discuss their experiences of postgraduate research and make academic and professional connections.

Participants will also be expected to engage as discussants of other papers. There is no registration fee.

The Workshop will be followed by the 32^nd ANZSIL Annual Conference, which will take place at the Australian National University College of Law from Wednesday 2 July to Friday 4 July 2025. Workshop participants are encouraged to attend, and there will be no registration fee for workshop participants to attend the Workshop or the Annual Conference.

Postgraduate research students wishing to present their work on an international law topic are encouraged to submit their proposals for presentation at the Workshop. Applicants must be enrolled in a higher degree research program (PhD, SJD, or Research Masters) at an Australian or New Zealand university.

Applicants should submit an abstract of up to 350 words and biographical note of 250 words no later than 26 February 2025.
