All good things come in threes as our conference is going for its third year. We would, again, like to give students the oppurtunity to present and discuss current academic work on fanfiction. Apart from an external keynote speaker, all other speakers will be students.
When? Friday, 30.01.2026, 10:00 s.t.
Where? hybrid: Zoom/Campus Westend, IG-Farben-Haus, IG 0.251
Who? students from all universities, programmes and levels, German- or English-speaking
If you want to listen on site, no further registration is required. If you want to take part online, write to us for the Zoom link at info@fanficforum-ffm.de or on Instagram (@fanficforum_ffm)!
