Day of Parliamentary Research

Each year, the Parliamentary Administration invites academics from various disciplines to present and discuss their latest research on topics relevant to Parliament. The Legal, Legislative, and Research Services (RLW) of the Parliamentary Administration organises the annual event. The Day of Parliamentary Research provides a platform for current developments in the field of Parliamentary Research, encourages dialogue between academics and practitioners, and supports young researchers. One highlight of each year’s Day of Parliamentary Research is the announcement of the newly awarded "Research Year in Parliament” as well as the presentation of preliminary results of the ongoing research project.

The next Day of Parliamentary Research will take place on June 16, 2026. The ongoing call for contributions for the event focuses on the role of reason, emotion, and sensation in the context of parliaments. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is April 6, 2026.

Written Symposium following the cancellation of the Day of Parliamentary Research 2025

Due to the tragic events in Graz and the resulting period of national mourning, the event had to be cancelled. Following this, a Written Symposium was organised to still provide a platform for the valuable exchange between researchers and practitioners on the subject of different temporalities in a parliamentary context. This Written Symposium on "Time(s) and Parliaments” presents a collection of (written) contributions that would have been discussed at the Day of Parliamentary Research. More information and all the contributions can be found at the link below.
