Call for papers, panels and workshops: 2026 Voluntary Sector and Volunteering Research Conference

Across policy, practice, and academia, expectations are growing that research should do more than generate robust evidence. The 2026 Voluntary Sector & Volunteering Research (VSVR) Conference invites engagement with how research on, and with, the voluntary sector and volunteering can more meaningfully shape policy and practice – and how evidence can be translated into action.
