In the rapidly changing global landscape, the intersection of Law, Social Sciences, and Public Policy is a hotbed for academic inquiry. For scholars and graduate students looking for accessible yet reputable platforms to publish their work, 2026 offers a variety of international conferences.
These venues are particularly valuable because they often offer flexible publication options: rigorous Conference Proceedings (indexed by Scopus/CPCI) for those seeking high impact, and International Journals (General) for those seeking open-access visibility and rapid turnaround.
The 12th International Conference on Humanities and Social Sciences (ICHSS 2026) is one of the most comprehensive events in the field. Hosted in Sapporo, it welcomes a broad range of topics from Civil Law to Sociology and Political Science.

Flexible Publication: Many of these conferences (like ICHSS and ICCLL) are associated with general academic journals (e.g., IJSSH, IJCH). This is ideal for authors who prefer the format of a journal article over a proceedings paper.
Interdisciplinary: They encourage papers that might not fit in strict "Law-only" journals, such as "The Sociology of Digital Law" or "Cultural Impacts of Environmental Regulations."
Global Networking: Connect with scholars from diverse backgrounds in culturally rich cities like Florence and Sapporo.
