First call for papers of the 12th World Congress of the IASS/AIS
Deadline for paper proposals is 4 July 2014, but…
There are two options:
1) Just send the proposal (up to 500 words) on info@semio2014.org and wait our answer if the proposal is accepted and in which round table or study session has been placed.
2) Read carefully the information about the congress, check the existing proposals for round tables and study sessions listed here and contact their chairs with your paper proposal; if you do not find any proposed topic suitable to your interests check our discussions in social media and make there your own proposal for a Round table or study session, i.e. be part of the New semiotics!
Recommended timetable for the involved participants:
until 28 February |
take part in the discussions in the social media or open your own topic and become a chair |

proposals still can be evaluated, but there are less chances to be accepted and inserted into the most appropriate Round Tables and Study Sessions |
