There is no regional or methodological restriction. *8^th Conference of the ECPR Standing Group on Parliaments* *06 July – 08 July 2023 University of Vienna* The conference will bring together senior and junior scholars of the field. Away from the hectic bustle of large-scale conferences, it will offer unique opportunities for detailed discussions and networking. The academic program will be complemented by a social program including a visit to the Austrian parliament on the first day, as well as a conference dinner on the second evening of the conference, allowing participants ample opportunity to catch up with old friends and to meet new standing group members.
