NISPAcee Project Manager:
To open the NISPAcee Annual Conferences to even more potential contributors and to make it even more attractive, we introduced in 2006 a new form of meeting: The General Session, in which papers not restricted by any topic or theme can be presented.
The only criteria for acceptance are (a) scholarly quality, (b) interest of topic and (c) “from or about the region”, i.e. papers should come from Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus, or be about this area.
After two successful gatherings, 2006 in Ljubljana and 2007 in Kiev, which had a particularly high audience/paper ratio, we are pleased to offer the General Session again in 2008 in Bratislava (and beyond). It is intended to give scholars the possibility to present their most interesting and recent research that they would want to share and discuss with an international and knowledgeable audience – and to give them the option to do it in the NISPAcee framework.
As with all sessions, the best papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings or even in the NISPAcee Year Book.
