17TH CONFERENCE OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR KOREAN STUDIES IN
EUROPE 

By Robert C. Provine

The Association for Korean studies in Europe invites you to
attend its 17th Conference on 21-25 April 1995, to be hosted
by Charles University in the magnificent city of Prague, Czech
Republic.

Papers may be offered on any academic subject relating to
Korean studies, and may be delivered in English, French,
German, or Korean (this being a European association,
presentations in the European languages are preferred). If you
wish to present a paper, you must send a four-page summary
including a bibliography to Dr. Pucek before 15 January 1995;
all paper proposals will be considered by the conference
organizing committee in January and decisions will be
announced in early February. It will probably not be possible
to reproduce and distribute complete copies of papers at the
conference, and authors wishing to distribute complete copies
of full-length papers are requested to bring the necessary
number of copies to the Conference.
If you require a special letter of invitation to the
Conference, please write to the AKSE President, Dr. Robert C.
Provine, The Music School, University of Durham, Palace Green,
Durham DH1 3RL, England, as soon as possible
Owing to increasing costs of conference organization, each
participant (with certain exceptions) will be asked to pay a
conference fee to help cover costs. We anticipate that the
subsidized conference fee, covering accommodation and meals,
will be less than US $225 (US $50 for students), and we will
reduce that cost if possible. Cheap student housing will be
available. Full housing costs, without subsidy, will be
charged for accompanying family members.
Travel grants will be available in exceptional cases, and any
applicant requiring a grant for participation should write an
explanatory letter to the President.
A Second Notice with further information will be sent to
applicants in November.
I look forward to welcoming you in Prague
