Meeting Description:

The International Congress for Finno-Ugric Studies (Congressus Internationalis
Fenno-Ugristarum, CIFU) is the most important international event in the world
of Finno-Ugric (Uralic) studies. It is organized since 1960 every five years.
Traditionally, the congress has been hosted by “Finno-Ugric countries”,
alternating since 1990 between Hungary, Finland, Estonia, and Russia. However,
at the 12th CIFU in Oulu, 2015, it was decided that for the first time in its
history, the CIFU of 2020 would take place outside these countries, in Vienna.
We at the Finno-Ugric Department of the University of Vienna are honoured by
this important task and the confidence placed in us. We also see it as an
important reminder about the international character of Finno-Ugric studies,
transcending the borders of states, regions, national research traditions and
schools.

We invite all interested colleagues to the XIII International Congress for
Finno-Ugric Studies, which will take place in Vienna on August 16–21, 2020.
The programme will consist of plenary papers, symposia, and general session
papers. The congress will have no single particular theme: contributions from
any area within Finno-Ugric/Uralic studies in the wide sense are welcome.
However, we would like to point out that papers representing Hungarian,
Finnish, or Estonian studies without wider international, contrastive or
comparative relevance would be better placed at a conference with a more
specific theme.

Call for Papers:

We invite all interested colleagues to the XIII International Congress for
Finno-Ugric Studies, which will take place in Vienna on August 16–21, 2020.
The programme will consist of plenary papers, symposia, and general session
papers. Contributions from any area within Finno-Ugric/Uralic studies in the
wide sense are welcome. 

Abstract proposals must be submitted by September 30, 2019, using the
electronic submission tool at
https://cifu13.univie.ac.at/call/online-submission/. Abstracts submitted by
any other means cannot be considered; if you have problems with the submission
tool, please contact us or the event management office of the University of
Vienna at congress at univie.ac.at.  

The maximum length of each abstract is 3000 characters (including spaces).
Each participant can submit maximally two abstracts: one as the lead author
(presenting author), one as a co-author.

Please note that the submitted abstracts must be in English. The actual
presentation at the CIFU can be in any of the languages traditionally used in
Finno-Ugric studies, and we warmly welcome the use of minority languages in
particular. However, we kindly request all presenters to keep in mind that the
CIFU is an international event and the language choices should be as inclusive
as possible. (For example, if your talk is not in English, having the visual
support of your presentation in English is recommended.) The language policies
of the symposia will be determined by the organizers of each symposium.

Due to our multilingual policies, it is important that the title of each
presentation in the final programme be in the language in which the actual
talk is given; if the title is in English, the audience will expect an
English-language presentation. Please give the title of your abstract in the
language in which you plan to give your talk!

After the peer-review process, you will be notified of the acceptance or
rejection of your paper by March 1, 2020. From that time on, electronic
registration to the congress will be possible using the online registration
tool which will be available on the congress website.

The accepted abstracts will be published on the congress website. (In case the
author of an accepted abstract does not register at the congress, the abstract
will be removed.) Symposium organizers are encouraged to publish edited
volumes based on the material of their symposia, but no central publication of
all CIFU proceedings is planned.

Our website at cifu13.univie.ac.at will be continuously updated, and new
information (about the venue, travel and accommodation, programme,
registration and fees etc.) will be made available. You are also welcome to
follow our Facebook event site (

Welcome to Vienna in 2020!

Johanna Laakso
President of XIII Congress for Finno-Ugric Studies
