MagLab is pleased to announce the open call for the second edition of the biennial Future of Magazine (FoM) international conference, organized by CICANT, Lusófona University's research center, taking place from October 29 to 31, 2025.

FoM25 brings together a diverse range of researchers to share insights, ideas, and discuss the current state and future challenges of the magazine medium, as well as issues relevant to understanding this field of study. Papers will be presented as part of a comprehensive conference program, including keynote talks, discussion circles, and a full day dedicated to the industry.

We invite contributions that engage with the theme of “(Re)Thinking Magazines: Challenges and Opportunities”. We seek to open new perspectives on how the magazine medium can adapt and innovate in the face of technological and cultural shifts, exploring both the threats and potential avenues that the future holds for this universal and dynamic format.

The FoM 2025 conference uses a dedicated system to handle the submission and reviewing process. Submissions are double-blind (anonymized).

The deadline for submitting abstracts presenting original research efforts (maximum 500 words, plus references) is 19 May 2025.

Please submit your ABSTRACT in our submission platform: https://revistas.ulusofona.pt/index.php/futureofmagazine/about/submissions
