The international program committee invites classicists from all countries 
to participate in these panels with scholarly contributions (20 minutes 
each). Interested scholars are requested to send abstracts of their 
proposed papers before March 31st, 2008 to the Conference's Secretary 
General Prof. Dr. U. Schmitzer, Institut für Klassische Philologie,
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, D-10099 Berlin, 
preferably by email (ulrich.schmitzer at staff.hu-berlin.de) as an attached 
document in RTF format (possibly also as PDF). The abstract should contain 
the following information:

a) Contributor's name and complete mailing address, including email
b) Preferred panel
c) Title of the paper
d) Length of the paper: 20 minutes minutes
e) Outline of the content, max. 300 words

The international program committee will decide on the acceptance of 
abstracts by May 31st, 2008. Please take into consideration that 20-minute 
papers may have a better chance of being accepted. Whether the 
organizational committee will be able to contribute financially to 
accommodation expenses for those scholars whose papers have been accepted 
will depend upon the amount of financial subvention the Conference 
receives. Further information about this contribution will be
available only beginning in early 2009.

For further details please see the Conference website (www.fiec2009.org).

Registration and hotel reservations will likely be possible after October 
1st, 2008.
