We are offering a short extension of the deadline for submissions to the ASEEES-CESS Joint Regional Conference to be held at Nazarbayev University this coming May. The deadline is extended until Wednesday, January 29.



For those who have already submitted a proposal, please note you should receive an confirmation of receipt by Jan 25. If you do not receive confirmation by Jan 26, you should re-send your proposal to ensure that it is not lost (and then make sure you get confirmation by Jan. 30). Email problems do occasionally occur.



If there is anyone who has already submitted a proposal but would like to use the deadline extension to make improvements to the proposal, you may do so, sending the new version with a note that it is revised.



For full information about the conference, please see the Call for Papers and information on the webpage:

http://shss.nu.edu.kz/shss/Events/Conferences/ASEEES-CESS



To ensure that you submit a properly completed application by the final deadline of Jan. 29, please note the following points carefully:



1) All those seeking to be considered for inclusion in the conference must complete the PDF forms that can be found on the conference webpage:

For individual paper proposals, the "Individual Proposal Form" is required, while for pre-organized panels, we need a "Panel Proposal Form" for the panel and an "Individual Proposal Form" for each of the panelists.



2) In order to make sure that you complete the PDF form correctly:

- Please ensure that you have an up-to-date version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader program (available for free at http://get.adobe.com/reader/‎ - versions 10 and 11 certainly work, while older versions may not). Those with older versions can find that the form does not work, and either data cannot be entered or it is not saved properly.

- Please save the form from the website on your computer *before* filling it out, and then open the file on your computer with Acrobat Reader to fill it out (do not fill it out from within your browser in online regime as the data may not save correctly and may be lost).

- Please save the form carefully in the normal way (use Save As... and give it a file name with your name in it) - do not print it, scan it or use "print to -> Adobe PDF" (otherwise the data cannot be extracted normally from the form).

- Please check your form by closing and reopening it before sending it to ensure that the data is saved properly.



Please also read carefully the rules of participation that are listed on the proposal form and sign it to indicate your acceptance of these (note for example that proposals for papers to be presented in Russian can be accepted *only* if they are included in a pre-organized panel that is designated as either Russian-only or mixed Russian and English).



>From the proposals received so far, it is clearly going to be a very interesting and well-attended conference, so we encourage you your participation!



ASEEES is offering a very limited number of travel grants for our members to present their papers at the conference.  Click HERE<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fdhlbo1Q7K729Fvm38_rW9ejLA7Bm85btXUCohB4j3E/viewform> for the application. The grant application deadline is March 1.
