Sections and panels are supposed to be sites for discussion of particular research problems or presentation of results of scholarly activity within certain disciplines or research fields. Organising committee does not set any restrictions regarding discipline or topic of the panel, and thus suggests that academic and research communities articulate their own priorities and interests.
Sections and panels can be disciplinary, thematic or with focus on particular narrow problems. We also accept applications for round-tables, workshops, presentations, etc.
Organising committee calls upon research institutions and communities as well as academic leaders to participate in the design of thematic priorities of the 8th Congress.
Applications can be made by individuals, groups or institutions.
Application deadline is March 5. Applicants have to fill in the online form.
Name samples of sections, panels, round-tables, etc. in 2015, 2016 and 2017 Congress programs are available online.

The International Congress of Belarusian Studies is the most representative annual academic event, which unites all major centres of research on politics, society and culture of Belarus. It presents an excellent opportunity to develop new research and community projects, to exchange views and ideas and to establish informal contacts with representatives of expert and academic community of Belarus and other countries.
The Congress aims at the integration of researchers and experts in social sciences and humanities as well as deeper understanding of Belarus in the academic and civil environment of the country, region, and world.
The Congress will gather more than 500 scientists and experts from Belarus and abroad. We expect outstanding and fruitful discussions, as well as rewarding the best scholar and student works published in 2018.
