The JYS Conference 2027 is the 5th International Conference of the Journal of Youth Studies, following conferences in Glasgow, Scotland in 2013, Copenhagen, Denmark in 2015, Newcastle, Australia in 2019, and Ulster, Northern Ireland in 2024. JYS is an international scholarly journal, published by Taylor and Francis/Routledge, devoted to the theoretical and empirical understanding of young people’s experiences and life contexts.
The conference is hosted by the Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (CIIE), a research unit based at the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences of the University of Porto (FPCEUP), Portugal, and recognised for its work on education, inclusion and social change.
The local organisation is led in particular by JEDi – Youth, Education, Diversity and Innovation, a CIIE’s research community of practice focused on youth studies, and developed within the framework of ROOTS project (Ecologies of Impact and Value of Educational Mobilities), funded by FCT and ERDF/Compete 2030.
The organisation further benefits from the involvement of PIV (Inclusion Policies and Voices: Diversity, Gender and Intersectionality) and PCEP (Participation, Communities and Political Education), other two CIIE research communities of practice.
Members of CAFTe (Curriculum, Assessment, Training and Technologies in Education) and IDEAfor (Identity, Democracy, School, Administration and Training) also contribute to the initiative.
