    In honour of

    Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn


    on Her auspicious Diamond Jubilee Birth Anniversary
    organised by
    Sanskrit Studies Centre, Silpakorn University, Bangkok, Thailand
    &
    International Association of Sanskrit Studies (IASS)

    FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
    At its 14th World Sanskrit Conference held in Kyoto (Japan) in 2009, the International Association of
    Sanskrit Studies (IASS) gave its first approval of hosting the 16th World Sanskrit Conference in Bangkok
    (Thailand) under the auspices of the Sanskrit Studies Centre, Silpakorn University. It was at the 15th
    World Sanskrit Conference in New Delhi that the final announcement was made of hosting this mega
    academic event on Sanskrit and Sanskrit related subjects in 2015.
    The 16th World Sanskrit Conference has 23 theme-based sections (to be run through parallel sessions)
    with specialist conveners for each section. The conveners are responsible for their respective sections
    including the academic standard of each paper and giving initial approval of the papers to be presented.
    Therefore, each section has joint conveners who would assist them in the smooth running of the
    particular section. All these conveners are also the Editors of the papers submitted to facilitate the
    publication of the volumes at the earliest.
    The Secretariat would then pass on the abstracts to the concerned conveners of the section. The time
    allowed for each paper is limited to 20 minutes. Scholars wishing to present a paper should prepare an
    abstract (not exceeding 300 words). Presentations can be made either in Sanskrit or English.
    The submission of the abstract should be done online on a Prescribed Registration Form made
    available on the website of the Sanskrit Studies Centre, Bangkok (http://www.sanskritsilpakorn.org/registration-form-wsc.php). The complete details of the Conference can be also accessed
    through the IASS website (www.sanskritassociation.org).
