The Poster Programme was initiated in 1993 to encourage students to study and discuss international tax matters. This initiative aims to introduce young academics and professionals to the IFA Network. Therefore, IFA expects them to become acquainted with the organisation, the scientific work and procedures of the association, so that they will be able to take an active part in IFA's work in the future.
Open to: The Programme is open to both LLM and PhD candidates in international taxation. Candidates must be writing a thesis or substantial research paper on a theoretical or practical issue in international taxation.
Submission requirements:
A brief outline of 2–3 pages describing the scope, structure, and main arguments of the thesis or research paper;
A curriculum vitae (CV);
At least one letter of recommendation, written by a qualified academic or relevant practitioner. While recommendation letters from IFA members are welcome, this is not a requirement.
Prize: Selected participants will present their posters at the Annual IFA Congress, receive a prize of EUR 500, one year of free IFA membership, and have their posters published on the Global IFA website.
Submission deadline: All required documents must be submitted by 31 January 2026 via e-mail to [email protected]. The subject line of the application should clearly state the following: “IFA Poster Programme Application – [LLM or PhD] Category”.
