ULAB2025: ULAB Conference 2025 University College London University College London London, UK, April 11-13, 2025

The Undergraduate Linguistics Association of Britain (ULAB) was founded in 2011. Since then, ULAB has hosted an annual conference which aims to give undergraduate students, and recent graduates, a chance to showcase their research. The ULAB 2025 conference will be hosted by University College London, with participation both in-person and online being an option for attendees. The conference is being organised by a group of undergraduate students at University College London. This year's conference will take place from the 11th to the 13th of April 2025.

Submission Guidelines

Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words. If you have not written an abstract before, you can find a helpful guide to writing an abstract on our website here: https://www.ulab.org.uk/about-ulab

All submissions must fall within the field of linguistics. As this is an undergraduate conference, the bulk of the work for all submissions must have been carried out whilst the author was an undergraduate student of linguistics or a related discipline, and so long as their undergraduate studies were completed no more than three years prior to submitting the abstract. We accept abstracts from students all over the world! You don't have to be studying at a British University to apply, and we gladly welcome abstracts from further afield. All abstract submissions must be in English.

This year will be two types of presentations: short talks (10-15 minute talk plus 5 minutes of questions) and poster presentations. You will be asked to indicate in the submission form what your preferred presentation type is.

Publication

We will aim to publish proceedings from the ULAB 2025 conference, and these will likely be hosted on Zenodo, an open access platform.
