The British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) invites proposals for panels, roundtables and papers for its 2019 Annual Conference. The conference will be held Friday, 12 April to Sunday, 14 April, and will be based at Robinson College, Cambridge, United Kingdom. The 2018 conference attracted over 500 delegates.

Panels, roundtables and papers are welcome in the following areas: Politics; History; Sociology and Geography; Film and Media, Languages and Linguistics; Literatures and Cultures; Economics. The conference especially welcomes participation by postgraduate research students and young scholars.

The 2019 conference coincides with the 30th anniversary of the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Delegates are also invited to propose panels and roundtables on related topics.
