The European Society of Modern Greek Studies addresses itself to neohellenists, and in particular to young researchers, from a broad spectrum of specialties within Modern Greek Studies (linguists, philologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, theatrologists, historians, art historians, educational historians, sociologists, musicologists, political scientists, and those engaged in international relations studies, comparative and cultural studies) and invites them to register for participation in the 6th Congress of the EENS with topics which, within the framework of the general theme of the Congress, promote the (comparative) study of the Greek world in the period from 1204 until the present day.

Thirty (30) scholarships of 300 euros each will be awarded to young researchers, to enable them to participate in the congress. The abstracts of the applicants must have been previously approved by the members of the scientific committee. The grants will be disbursed after the closing of the congress.
