CALL FOR PAPERS

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Center for European Studies (CES) of Havana, Cuba, calls to the 13th International Conference
on European Studies, to be held from September 27th to 30th, 2005 in the conference rooms of the
Occidental Miramar Hotel in the capital city of Cuba.
Founded in October 4th, 1974 as an autonomous, scientific, nonprofit entity, registered with the
National Registry of Associations of the Republic of Cuba under number 211-00-3277 and holding
consultative status at United Nations’ ECOSOC since 1996, CES efforts have been devoted to
promote and improve the knowledge of European socio-political reality from a scientific-approach, as
well as to look for a clearer perception of the decisive factors in European projection toward other
regions of the world, particularly Latin America.
From their very first edition in 1993, the International Conferences of European Studies organized by
the CES have allowed scholars and social scientists of the most diverse geographical and institutional
origins to discuss a wide range of topics related to the current political, economic and social situation
of Europe, as well as its impacts on other areas of the world.
As everyone of its previous editions, the 13th Conference will be the highest point of scientific
activities promoted annually by the CES, the first academic institution of its kind in Latin America.
Who are the participants?
Professionals, researchers and scholars coming from educational and academic institutions, as
well as any other interested persons whose field of work is related with the agenda proposed
for the 13th Conference or with other not included topics dealing with European current
political, economic and social situation and its projection toward other world regions.
How to participate?
Interested persons can register by e-mailing the Organizing Committee, before September 1st, 2005,
the registration form hereto appended, filled with their personal data. Participants should afford an
individual Conference fee of 80.00 CUC, to be paid at the accreditation desk; it covers participation
