The Spanish Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and the University of Zaragoza are delighted to welcome you to the 17th International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ISECS) Congress.

This is the largest and most ambitious scholarly gathering to focus on the study of all academic disciplines of the eighteenth century.

The Congress will be held in Zaragoza (Spain) from Monday 12 July to Friday 16 July 2027. The organisers are ISECS, the Spanish Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and the University of Zaragoza.

The Congress is open to contributions of all the subjects on the “long” eighteenth century. Its main theme is Enlightenment and (In)equality, an issue that permeated all academic disciplines of the period and also left a deep mark on the world of literary and iconographic representation and expression. 

For five days the Congress offers an unparalleled setting for personal and academic encounters between scholars of the eighteenth century from all over the world, the exchange of research, experiences and scientific projects, and the sharing of knowledge. 

Zaragoza is one of Spain’s major cities and has a rich historical, artistic and museum heritage. It also offers visitors a wide range of academic and cultural activities, including highly regarded local cuisine.

The city also offers visitors a great opportunity to explore Francisco de Goya’s paintings, works of great aesthetic value and a strong moral sense, with the artist himself providing the focus for the Congress’s cultural activities.

It will be an enormous pleasure to welcome you to Zaragoza in July 2027!

Fernando Durán, President of the Spanish Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies
