18th Conference of
the International Association for Ladakh Studies (IALS), Bedlewo near Poznan,
Poland, 2nd – 6th May 2017
The
18th Conference of the International Association for Ladakh Studies (IALS) will
be jointly organized by the Board of Polish Academy of Sciences, Humboldt
University, and the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland. It will be
held at the Bedlewo Conference Centre near Poznan, Poland from Tuesday, 2nd to
Saturday 6th May 2017.
The
conference theme will focus broadly on Current Western Himalayan Research with
the aim of gathering together senior and independent researchers, postgraduate
students, and practitioners from across all academic disciplines. Whilst
emphasis will be placed upon Ladakh-oriented research, we wish also to
encourage research focusing upon the wider Himalayan belt to include the
neighbouring high-altitude areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and
Uttarakhand. The conference will have a multidisciplinary character as is the
tradition and trademark of IALS colloquia. The Call for Papers will be open
from August until mid-November, and decisions will be made by mid-January.
The
proposed conference fee will include accommodation, all meals and refreshments,
and an excursion to the nearby palace and gardens. Bedlewo Conference Centre is
equipped with all modern facilities: single, double and triple rooms with
private baths, and we even offer a sauna, small gym, billiards and table tennis
for enthusiasts of evening sports. Maybe for the first time we can make some
sporting competitions among Himalayan researchers!
We
look forward to welcoming you next May.
