Dear all,

this is a reminder that the International Association of Scandinavian
Studies (IASS) will hold its thirty-first conference from 9 to 13 August
2016 in Groningen, the Netherlands. It will be hosted by the Scandinavian
Studies section of the Department of European Languages and Cultures (ELC). The
theme of the conference is: Transition between ‘the Nordic countries’ and
‘Europe’.

*The organizers warmly invite researchers in the field of Scandinavian
studies from around the world, as well as any other interested parties, to
attend. **Proposals for 20 minute lectures in the form of abstracts
(approx. 250-300 words) can be submitted on our website
**(**www.rug.nl/let/iass-submission-form

You can sign up between 15 January 2016 and 1 May 2016 via the homepage of
the IASS conference (www.rug.nl/let/iassgroningen2016). The link will
redirect you to the Groninger Congresbureau, which will handle all
registrations. Early-bird prices are available until 15 March at a rate of
€ 80. After this date, the price will be € 110.

The homepage also provides an overview of the ideas and topics that form
the background to the conference’s theme, which can be used as inspiration
for lectures and papers. The primary languages during the conference will
be the Scandinavian languages, with English as the secondary language.
Information about the excursions and the closing banquet etc. will be made
available on the homepage, as will information on hotels and accommodation
