===================
*Dear Neil:*
**
*As you know, the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences (SVU) is
organizing its next SVU World Congress at the University of South
Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic on June 25-July 2, 2006.
The Congress, with its central theme "Czech and Slovak Culture in
International & Global Contexts," will be organized jointly with the
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Academy of
Sciences, as well as University of South Bohemia and the Statutory City
of Ceske Budejovice - under the aegis of both President Klaus and
President Gasparovic. This will be and extraordinary event, if not the
pivotal event of the year for anyone interested in Czech or Slovak
culture and affairs, which will be attended by a large number of
participants from all over the world, especially from the United States.
The details about the Congress can **be found on the SVU Website:
www.svu2000.org <http://www.svu2000.org>*
**
*As has been our practice, the subjects covered on the program will
encompass just about every aspect of human endeavor, including the arts,
humanities, social sciences, science & technology, medicine,
agriculture, environment, politics, civil society, law, business &
trade, media & information, tourism, etc. This time, we are putting a
great emphasis on literature and languages, and Slavistics.*
**
*On behalf of the Congress Organizing Committee, it gives me great
pleasure to extend an invitation to you to attend the Congress and
actively participate on the program. Specifically, we would like you to
make a presentation on some aspect of *
*literature or languages, an area **of your expertise. You may, of
course, choose another area, if you wish. As has been our practice
recently, we are planning to publish the Congress papers in book form
later on.*
**
*Inasmuch as we are expecting visitors from every corner of the world,
with high presence of representatives of the press, radio and TV, your
presentation would clearly impact on the visibility of your presentation. *
****
*I hope you will accept our invitation. As an non-profit organization, I
hope you will understand, that we cannot pay expenses of the
participants. As is customary with all congresses, each participant will
be expected to register.*
**
*I look forward to hearing from you soon.*
**
*All the best,*
**
*Mila Rechcigl*
*SVU President*
