February 15-18, 2010 (Carnival)
Oline submissions accepted until January 8, 2010.
The International Journal of Arts & Sciences (IJAS) in collaboration with the University of Malta's Gozo Campus is once again hosting a refereed conference for professors and students in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Nestled sixty miles under Sicily, the Maltese Islands are a unique mix of Sicilian and British cultures while the underlying native language, Maltese, is a Semitic language.
Beaches are everywhere. Thousands-year old temples overlook the fishing boats trawling the crystal clear blue waters.
These islands of beauty and peace are the European Union's gems in the Mediterranean, a rejuvenating magnet for lovely country walks, full of pleasant cultural surprises.
During February, they provide one of the warmest spots. The sun loves the islands. However, during the same month, the weather may vacillate within a couple hours, creating summer and winter sensations in one day.
The name "Malta" is somewhat confusing because sometimes it denotes the largest island and sometimes it refers to the three islands - Malta, Gozo and Comino - as one nation state. Our conference with be hosted in pristine Gozo, the second largest island, about half an hour by boat from the largest island, Malta.
The main university on the islands is the University of Malta. Our conference will be hosted by the University's Gozo complex which was transformed into a conference center in the last few years.
Besides offering you the opportunity of sharing your research with an international audience, the conference will facilitate your participation, free-of-charge, in (i) a one-day program around Gozo, and (ii) a one-day program around Malta, discovering both islands' major touristic and cultural areas by bus and some walking.
Faculty who opt for any or both of these day programs will be assigned a presentation slot on a different day to assure a conflict-free schedule.
We invite abstracts, papers, and proposals in any of the following four tracks:
*
Social Sciences and Humanities,
*
Business and Economics,
*
Teaching and Education, and
*
Science and Technology.
The best paper in each of these tracks will be recognized through an engraved plaque. The reviewers will select the winning papers.
The accepted submissions will be clustered around their common topics and areas of interest. As is typical of multidisciplinary conferences, the final program - released about three weeks before the conference - will mirror the research agendas of the delegates rather than a pre-conceived list of arbitrary topics.
It is up to each delegate how much to submit or publish. Some authors may publish only an abstract in the proceedings. Others may prefer to publish a full-length manuscript in the journal.
Delegates may also attend a conference without submitting or publishing any research.
Authors may deliver their work during the conference either as (i) a regular presentation, (ii) a poster session, (iii) a panel, or (iv) a workshop.
