Call for Initial Panel Proposals

The Planning Committee would like to invite initial panel proposals from scholars and colleagues from all areas of Buddhist Studies. If you are interested in convening a panel, please provide us with a 200-word description of the proposed topic as well as a tentative list of potential contributors (not counted within the 200-word limit). Once the selected panel topics are presented in the Second Circular, interested individuals should contact the panel convener directly to inquire about joining.

The initial panel proposals should be sent to Jowita Kramer, Chair, Planning Committee of the XXth IABS Congress, Leipzig University, Institute for South and Central Asian Studies, at jowita.kramer@uni-leipzig.de. The deadline for the initial panel proposals is February 29, 2024.

Individual Paper Proposals

Individual paper proposals are not being accepted at the moment. We will announce a call for individual papers in the Second Circular, along with a list of themes suggested by the Planning Committee.

Posters and Exhibits

We welcome both posters and exhibits for this congress. Exhibition space will be provided, and poster and exhibit presentations will take place during special sessions where participants can interact with each other in a less formal setting. More details will come in the Second Circular.
