In 2016, the Second International Philological Forum was held at Sofia University. More information can be found here.

Due to the pandemic, the Fourth International Philological Forum planned for 2020 was cancelled. Starting in 2021, the team began to organize annual thematic conferences for young scholars (BA, MA and PhD students and postdoctoral students). Their programmes can be found in the links below:
The Young Scholars: Research Projects Forum (October 2021): Programme.
