Winnipeg and Madrid

We are pleased to announce the upcoming War in the Ancient World International Conference 2026 (WAWIC 2026), an annual event that brings together researchers from around the globe to exchange ideas and present new research on ancient warfare. We invite submissions from scholars working on all aspects of ancient warfare and military history. Contributions from archaeological, philological, and historical perspectives are welcome. We are particularly interested in topics related to the Greco-Roman world, the ancient Near East, ancient Egypt, and neighboring cultures. The conference is open to graduate students, early-career researchers, and established scholars alike. The 2026 conference will take place in person at two locations: in Winnipeg for participants based in North America and in Madrid for those based in Europe. Selected panels will be connected via Zoom to enable transcontinental interaction and discussion.
We welcome proposals in three categories: (a) individual papers, (b) project presentations, and (c) thematic panels.
If you would like to organize a thematic panel, please contact wawic.ifg@hu-berlin.de with a brief outline of your proposed panel (150–300 words) BEFORE October 30, 2025.
For individual papers and project presentations, please send a 300-word abstract and a brief biographical note to wawic.ifg@hu-berlin.de BEFORE January 15, 2026.
Participants are invited to submit their papers to the Diamond Open Access Online Journal “Deimos” after the conference (https://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/deimos/index). Thematic panels may be proposed for the book series “Bellona”.
