AIX-EN-PROVENCE CONFERENCE
June 8-11, 2010
Online submissions accepted until March 25, 2010
Conference and Academic Programs Around the Provence, France.

Once again, IJAS proudly hosts an end of the academic year program in the midst of pristine nature and ancient history, in a conference that is both relaxing and intellectually stimulating. From the surrounding aromatic purple fields of lavender, to the ancient town of Nimes steeped in Roman vestiges, our conference sets out on a four day journey of academic tours and conference presentations launched from Aix-en-Provence, the former capital of Provence and the birthplace of Paul Cezanne ("We live in a rainbow of chaos").
Life goes on beyond IJAS as well, and delegates will find a whole slew of events and activities in the region. Some may want to take a 22-minute car ride from Aix-en-Provence to Marseilles, the crossroads of the Provençal tradition and the exotic influences from the Middle East and its souk-like markets. Others may want to invest their free time in culinary delights, savoring the bouillabaisse and other authentic local dishes, and sipping the region's finest wines along cobbled streets and perched villages.
The Provence is the cradle of art. Monet, Renoir, Dufy, Bonnard, Signac, and van Gogh borrowed the Provençal landscape and inspiration for their work. Matisse and Picasso spent a good part of their life in Provence, an open-air Musée des Beaux Arts.

We are grateful for our sponsors without whose cooperation this program would not have materialized. The program is specially tailored for academic participants and promotes the Provence as an ideal region for hosting study abroad programs. Our bus tours running all over the region will do their utmost to convince the delegates that this region is second to none. The conference site is right outside the city in a majestic building surrounded by trees, greenery and peace. It incorporates within it lodging facilities that will be available for our delegates (see information below). If we had to run a study abroad program in Aix-en-Provence, we would have used the same facilities and run the same tours except that we would have spread the tours over a slightly longer number of days. Our program is ambitious and compresses the whole conference package into just four days.
As always, IJAS conference delegates are free to lodge wherever they like and attend as many presentations and cultural tours as they deem fit. Faculty who opt for any or all of the tour programs will be assigned a presentation slot on a different day in order to avoid a conflict of schedule.
Conference Tracks
We invite abstracts, papers, and proposals in any of the following tracks:
Social Sciences and Humanities,
Business and Economics,
Teaching and Education, and
Technology and Science.
The best paper in each of these four 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 longer format. Delegates may also attend without submitting any research.
