Call for Proposals: Europe: East and West Undergraduate Symposium

On Friday, April 12, 2013, we will be sponsoring the Europe: East and West Undergraduate Research Symposium at the University of Pittsburgh. Modeled after traditional academic conferences, students will present their research papers on Western and Eastern Europe, including Russia, at the symposium to discussants and an audience.

Please encourage your students to apply to the symposium. As a professor who teaches courses and/or conducts research pertaining to Europe, you are in a good position to promote this event. If you had students who submitted papers last spring or currently have students who will be submitting papers on Western or Eastern Europe, please encourage them to submit their papers for consideration.

Applications and more information can also be found at http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/ursymposium/.

Deadlines:
1) Students must submit applications with 250-300 word abstracts by January 28, 2013.
2) Selected students will be notified by mid-February 2013.
3) Final revised papers are due by March 20, 2013.
4) Presentations will be made at the Symposium on April 12, 2013.

If you have questions about the symposium, please contact Steve Lund at slund@pitt.edu or (412) 648-7244. Thank you for your help!
