• Presentation of a book or a special journal issue: the Scientific Committee wishes to encourage authors of recent publications (individual or collective) or of journal special issues (published or in press), on Asia and the Pacific to present them for discussion with their colleagues.

To make proposals:The submission of proposals is made on-line on the congress website, by coordinators and speakers, before 15 March 2015. Information to be provided:

• Panel: the title and the summary of the panel (300 words), key-words, name of the coordinator, the list of speakers, as well as information on each presentation: the name of the presenter, the title and abstract of the presentation (200 words), and the disciplinary field involved.

• Presentation of a book or journal special issue: the name of the presenter, the title of the book or special issue and the abstract (300 words), the table of contents and, as applicable, the list of contributors.

Some proposals for individual papers may be considered by the Scientific Committee and included, to the extent possible, within existing panels. These proposals are to be submitted only by e-mail to the address marine.sam@cnrs.fr, using the same format as for the panels.

Publication: The Congress does not plan to publish the proceedings. However, the Scientific Committee wishes to encourage the publication of journal special issues. Journal editors will be invited to the Congress.

Registration fees: 80 € for presenters, 30 € for student presenters; 30 € for other non-presenting participants, fees waived for students.
