Dear Colleagues,

     The International Committee of Fenno-Ugric Congresses (ICFUC)
announced at its meeting in Joshkar-Ola, Mari El, held in August 2005,
that the host to the next International Congress will be Hungary. At
the recommendation of the Hungarian National Committee the honour of
hosting the Congress has been conferred on the Department of
Fenno-Ugric Linguistics, Pázmány Péter Catholic University. Thus the
11th International Congress for Fenno-Ugric Studies (CIFU 11) will be
held with the title

     Fenno-Ugric Peoples and Languages in the 21th century
     Date: 9­14 August 2010
     Venue: the PPCU Campus, Piliscsaba, Hungary

     The congress will focus on the social, cultural and linguistic
situation and perspectives of Uralic (Fenno-Ugric and Samoyedic)
peoples. At the beginning of the 21th century, research on endangered
minority languages and cultures is one of the most important scientific
issues. At the same time, the congress is open to topics other than
this; discussion of the traditional questions of Fenno-Ugric studies
is, of course, welcome.

     The congress will work in four major sections: 1. linguistics, 2.
ethnology and folklore, 3. literature, 4. history, archaeology and
anthropology. Presentations will be of four kinds: plenary papers given
by invited speakers and referees, sections papers (20 mins), posters
and symposia.
     Papers can be given in English, German, Russian or any of the
Uralic languages.
     Prospective participants can register by filling in the
registration form, which can be downloaded from the Congress web-site
and sent back via e-mail.

     The deadline for registration is 31 May 2008.

     For section papers and posters, abstracts must be submitted either
in English or in Russian. Information on the size and the format of
abstracts is found on the Congress web-site.

     The deadline for abstract submission is 31 January 2009.

     Abstracts will be refereed anonymously, and their acceptance will
be decided by the organising committee. Notification of acceptance will
be sent out by 30 September 2009.

     Detailed information on the symposia is found on the Congress
web-site.

     The registration fee for the Congress is EUR 150, for
non-participants EUR 50. Details of payment are found on the Congress
web-site. The fee covers general congress costs, cultural events and
receptions and the printing of the programme, the plenary sessions
brochure, the abstracts and the congress volume. It does not cover
accommodation, meals and the costs of the excursions.

     Detailed information on accommodation, meals and the excursions
will be included in the second circular.

     You are kindly requested to make this circular known to all who may
be interested.

     In the hope of seeing you at the Congress, with kind regards the
Organising Committee.

     November 2007, Piliscsaba
