Call for proposals for the World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies, 2010. Deadline for submissions: 15 February 2009
Over 2000 researchers and experts on the Middle East, coming from a large number of universities, investigation centers and other organizations from all over the world, will gather in Barcelona in 2010 at the World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies (WOCMES). The IEMed and the UAB with the support of the Government of Catalonia will organize the Third WOCMES, after the two successful previous editions held in Mainz - Germany in 2002 and in Amman - Jordan in 2006.
From July 19th to 24th 2010, the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed), the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), with the support of the Government of Catalonia will co-organise the Congress. Any institution planning to organise a major event such as conferences, symposia, panels and exhibitions under the WOCMES-3 is now invited to submit proposals.
Panel proposal on a common theme or problem should have four or five paper presenters, a chair and discussant. It is preferable that neither the chair nor discussant be paper presenters. Pre-organized panels (already including the totality of requested papers) are strongly encouraged.
Symposium proposal on a more far reaching theme or problem should have at least two panels with four paper presenters, chairs and discussants. Exhibitions and cultural events proposals should place Middle Eastern and Mediterranean culture in the spotlight through different type of exhibitions, films or artistic events.
Major activities proposals must be submitted before February 15th 2009.
