For Faculty

During the academic year, CLAS accepts proposals for UChicago faculty- and student-led conferences and events. Please review our guidelines for submitting an event proposal.

CLAS considers proposals from UChicago faculty, students, departments, and units—as well as from external academic and cultural institutions—to organize or cosponsor events. These programs may include, but are not limited to, conferences, lectures, invited speakers, community engagement, art initiatives, and other events both on- and off-campus. We accept proposals for a Spanish-speaking audience.

Types of Support

CLAS provides financial and administrative support for a limited number of activities each year, which are considered on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted. Given our resources, CLAS welcomes proposals to organize small, on-campus events such as single lectures, public presentations, and panel discussions. For larger events (conferences, exhibits, and performances), CLAS only accepts cosponsorship proposals and encourages applicants to seek support from other departments or institutions.
