8TH Korean Studies Graduate Students Convention (KSGSC) in Europe:
Paris, France 13-15 September 2011

The KSGSC committee is pleased to announce the 8th convention for
graduate students, hosted by the Centre de Recherches sur la Corée (EHESS), the Centre d’Études Coréennes (INALCO) and the Korean Section of the INALCO. The conference aims to give graduate students in all Korea-related fields an opportunity to present their research, share academic interests, and strengthen ties with other junior scholars. This convention follows on the back of successful previous conventions at Ruhr University, Bochum (2004), SOAS, London (2005), the Oriental Institute, Prague (2006), Edinburgh University (2007), Leiden University (2008), Moscow State University (2009) and Babes-Bolyai University (2010). The convention is organized by the KSGSC committee and is funded by the Korea Foundation, under the umbrella of the Association for Korean Studies in Europe (AKSE).

Cancelling your Participation
We would like to receive applications only from those who are definitely able to attend the convention. Please bear in mind that applicants who confirm and then later cancel their participation potentially deprive others of the chance of attending and lead to waste of KSGSC resources.
