[Onur Inal]

CIEPO-18 INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF PRE-OTTOMAN AND OTTOMAN STUDIES.
15TH SYMPOSIUM 
Zagreb, August 25th-30th, 2008

We are pleased to announce that the 18th symposium of the CIEPO will
take place at the Zagreb University, Faculty of Humanities and Social
Sciences from the 25th to the 30th of August 2008. The organizing
committee calls for your presentation of current research in disciplines
of pre-Ottoman and Ottoman studies, either in English or in Turkish.
French and German are also accepted. Those interested in pre-organized
panels and thematic workshops are kindly requested to send their
proposals until the 15th of January. Pre-organized panels should consist
of two to three papers, plus an analysis of them by a moderator of ten
minutes maximum length. The papers should center on a single theme or
question, and the panel proposal should include an abstract (500 words
maximum) for the entire panel explaining its theme and rationale and how
the individual papers contribute to that theme, in addition to an
individual abstract (300 words maximum) for each paper. Abstract, should
be scholarly, with a strong, focused statement of thesis with
well-organized research data, and coherent conclusions.

Workshops should consist of short (10-minute) presentations by the
panelists, leaving a longer time for discussion of the problem or
question. The abstract for a workshop should specify the problem or
debate and its significance, as well as a summary of each panelist's
contribution to the discussion. Every effort will be made to include all
who wish to make a presentation, but in case it becomes necessary to
limit the number of papers, the selection will be made by members of the
Organizing Committee.

Individual papers will be organized into sections by the Organizing
Committee. The desirable duration of a paper presentation is 15 minutes;
it should not exceed 20 minutes. Again, in case it becomes necessary to
limit the number of papers, the selection will be made by members of the
Organizing Committee. Participants are requested to finance their own
travel expenses and accommodation. The registration fee for the congress
is 100 € (Euro) or its equivalent in Kunas (Kn) which should be paid to
the accounts opened on behalf of the CIEPO. The CIEPO membership of U.S.
$ 10 or 55 Kunas should be paid in advance as well. In all countries
