21st Annual Meeting
Research of the Carpathian-Balkan region
2-3 November 2023, Pécs, Hungary
Deadline for submitting session proposals: 30 June 2023.
MRTT XXI. public and wandering assembly will be held in Pécs. The event will be hosted by the Faculty of Economics of the University of Pécs . The organising committee is planning three plenary sessions, one round table discussion and around 200 presentations in 24 sessions. The first circular is available on the website.
In terms of some disciplines and research topics, Pécs functions as a center in the country, such as regional science, research on the Carpathian Basin and the Balkans. The main topic of the wandering assembly is therefore the Carpathian-Balkan region. This is an important link between the Regional Research Institute and several faculties and departments of the University of Pécs. The wandering assembly also reflects on several jubilees: the Erzsébet University began operating in Pécs 100 years ago; the Transdanubian Science Institute is 80 years old; the series of MRTT traveling meetings started from Pécs 20 years ago; the first issue of the Balkan Booklets and the first volume of the Carpathian Basin Region monograph series were also published 20 years ago in Pécs.
