Some Practicalities

Congratulations to all the participants at the upcoming InASEA Conference. We are glad to welcome you in New Bulgarian University, Sofia in September 2016. Please find below some useful practicalities for the upcoming conference.

For the Eastern European participants there is pre-arranged accomodation at Vega Hotel, which we recommend. It is conveniently located and easy to reach by taxi or subway from both the airport and the central bus station. There will be -pre-arranged transportation two times a day from the hotel and New Bulgarian University, where the conference will take place, and vice versa.

Registration will be open between 15:00 and 18:00 on September 15th, and the opening ceremony will begin at 18:00. On September 16th there will be a book shop, to which everyone is invited to bring authored or edited books. Detailed conference program will be uploaded soon.

Please be ready to provide your presentations to the staff during registration, so we will be able to have them on time in the halls of the University. Also, please keep in mind that you won’t be able to use your personal computers for your paper’s presentation.

We have also prepared a map, which shows all the important places and metro stations. You are able to use this map either via a phone or tablet, or you can also print it out for your arrival in Sofia.

The deadline for the submission of panel proposals is 30 November 2015, for the submission of paper proposals is 31 January 2016.
