XVIIth International Congress of Slavists
Welcome to the website of the XVIIth International Congress of Slavists (MKS), 2025.
The XVIIth International Congress of Slavists will be held in Paris, France, from August 25 to August 30, 2025 at the Centre Malesherbes of Sorbonne Université (108 boulevard Malesherbes 75017 Paris).
This event, organized every five years, is the meeting place of Slavists from all around the world – specialists in linguistics, literature, history. Its first session was held in Prague in 1929. For the first time in history, the MKS will meet in a non-Slavic country.
During the six working days, papers are presented in a variety of formats in a series of simultaneous morning and afternoon sessions, each session moderated by a chair. Some Plenary papers will be read on the opening day of the Congress
During its annual meeting on September 2nd, 2022, the International Congress of Slavists has taken the decision to postpone its next conference, initially planned in August 2023, to August, 25th-30th, 2025.
This decision will affect the initial submission calendar, as well as the submission selection process.
Regarding thematic blocks, which were selected in August 2021, the list of selected blocks will not be modified. However, participants should feel free to cancel their participation or to modify their abstract, as long as the modified submissions remain consistent with the topic of the thematic block. In case of individual cancellations within a thematic block, block organizers are encouraged to invite new participants. They should however notify the conference organising committee of any change, using the address below, before January 1st, 2024 : mks-paris@sciencesconf.org

If needed, national committees can continue working on their selection. They should however notify the conference organising committee about their updated selection no later than May 1st, 2024. Late applicants can reach out to the contact person of each delegation by checking their contact details on the conference website (https://mks-paris.sciencesconf.org, “Interventions, Papers, Доклады”).
