The Congress will be held at the Public Historical Library of Andritsaina from 28 to 30th  July 2023.

Researchers interested in participating at the congress are invited to submit electronically by 31 January 2023, through sending title and abstract (up to 200 words) of their paper, as well as their full name, title, contact telephone number and e-mail address, to the members of the organising committee:
