To achieve higher academic standarts, the papers limited to presenting archaeological material or descriptions of excavations will not be accepted. Papers presented should reflect the field of specialization of the presenter and should discuss original material.
The language of the symposium will be Turkish, English and German;
Papers presented will be published as proceedings in the offical journal of the Center (OLBA) after the approval of the selected committee of referees;
Registration fee is 150 € which will cover accomodation during the symposium, lunch and transportation to and from the campus. Registration fee willl be 30 € for those who do not demand the service listed above.Travel expenses to and from Turkey will be the participants responsibility.
We are planning a one day excursion following the three-day symposium which will provide an opportunity for the participants to visit the ancient sites in the region.
