Workshops

The Congress will consist of a General Section and a number of Workshops

The workshops should be organized by a group of at least two scholars, who prepare a description of the workshop indicating the main problems and issues to be addressed. The organizers of the workshop will inform the organizing committee about their proposal by e-mail. They will then publish the call for papers by themselves and will collect the appropriate abstracts to forward them later to the organizing committee.

We ask you to send us workshop proposals on actual topics of Baltic linguistics and related issues and to act as the organizers of the workshop. If you would like to submit a workshop proposal, please fill out the Workshop Proposal Form.
