Cairo: Pluriel’s Scientific Committee Selects the Contributions for the Next Congress

The scientific committee of Pluriel met from 23 to 25 February 2023 at the Dominican Institute for Oriental Studies in Cairo to select proposals for the next congress in Abu Dhabi in February 2024.

In response to the call for papers, more than a hundred researchers from Canada to Indonesia submitted their proposals in the three languages of the congress: English, Arabic, and French.

To ensure the impartiality of the selection, the committee evaluated the proposals anonymously. The congress programme will be published in the coming weeks.
