An invitation to participate at the conference
We would like to inform You that the Eötvös Loránd University’s Institute of Slavonic and Baltic Studies will be holding on 19th April, 2012 its
2nd Conference For Young Slavists In Budapest
Our university started its education in Slavonic studies in 1849. It got its international acclaim due to the work of Oszkár Asbóth (1852-1920). During the 19th and 20th century quite a few departments started their work and then in 1991 through the mutual cooperation of these the unified Institute of Slavonic and Baltic Studies was formed. Last year as a part of honouring 20 years of its existence the First Student’s Conference was held. Our long-term plan is making the Conference a tradition and for this reason we are holding this scientific gathering this year as well.
The conference is an opportunity for students and PhD candidates to present their research and work. Our aim is to provide the possibility for young students and researchers in the fields of Slavonic languages, literatures, history and culture to meet and present their new research in these topics. For these reasons we are inviting students and members of Slavonic departments in Hungary and from abroad.
A possibility of electronic publication is given to the participants. The organizers of the conference retain the right to modify (after consultation) the content of the electronically published work or to deny publication if the work does not meet the academic standards concerning its form, content or style.
The participants will give a presentation within maximum 15 minutes. The applicants will be given a deadline to submit their applications which should contain an abstract of the presentation. These can be submitted to the organizers in any Slavonic language.
The working language of the conference is any Slavonic language. The sessions will be headed and coordinated by the students of our University.
The deadline for application is 1st March, 2012.
We would kindly ask those willing to participate to submit the application form provided with this invitation electronically to szhbk.elte@gmail.com within the given deadline. You will be provided with a notification via e-mail that your application has been received.
The applicants will be informed whether their topic and application has been accepted by 19th March, 2012.
