Panel Submission Form

Please submit your proposal for CPDP 2026 here. 

Panels should foster critical and constructive debate and reflect diversity across disciplines, sectors, and regions. Research bodies, public institutions, and civil society may submit proposals; industry speakers can be included through the CPDP Speaker Pool, which connects organisers with experts from sponsoring organisations. Before continuing, please make sure to read the Rules on Panel Submission and Composition.

Panels include one moderator and four speakers, with no dual roles and no more than two from the organising institution. Ensure diversity in gender (including non-binary), geography (max two from one country, at least three countries), and discipline or sector.
