13th SECOND CIRCULAR |
[Next Section] - [ CONTENTS ]
ARRANGEMENTS
The 13th World Sanskrit Conference will operate in 13 sections (with four sessions running concurrently), each chaired by scholars specialising in the particular field; since the first circular, the decision has been taken to amalgamate the original sections 12 and 14 into the present section 12. In addition there are planned a sastracarcasadas, a kavisammelana, and two specialised panels (as single sessions, see further on the next page).
The joint chairpersons will organise the section and select the papers for presentation. During the conference they will preside over the meetings of the section and/or nominate additional chairs for this purpose. After the conference the chairpersons will act as editors of the proceedings to be published as a series, with one volume for each section. The chairpersons operate in close consultation with the conference organisers; since the organisers are responsible for practical arrangements, please send all correspondence about such matters (registration, abstracts, cancellations, etc.) directly to the conference secretariat.
To ensure a high scholarly level for the conference, the chairpersons have been asked to invite some scholars to deliver papers. Each section includes a general session and may also contain a panel on a specific topic, for both of which proposals of papers are welcome. Scholars wishing to present a paper who have not been directly contacted by the respective chairpersons should send the titles and abstracts of their papers to the conference secretariat in Edinburgh; they will be forwarded to the relevant chairpersons, who will review them and include all found suitable.
