Invitation for Bids for Hosting the IAHR XXIth Quinquennial World Congress in 2015

The IAHR Executive Committee at its meeting in Messina, September 12-13, 2009, decided that the General Secretary should issue a call to all member societies and associations regarding bids for hosting the IAHR XXIth Quinquennial World Congress in 2015.

Consequently, I herewith ask the officers of the IAHR member societies and associations to consider if this is the time for your society or association to host an IAHR World Congress.

In case you decide to ponder the matter and maybe even submit a bid, I strongly recommend that you take a close look at guidelines for running an IAHR World Congress. You can find the guidelines at the IAHR website under the heading "A Basic Framework for Running an IAHR World Congress" (http://www.iahr.dk/congress.html).

Bids should be sent by both e-mail (mailto:t.jensen@ifpr.sdu.dk) and ordinary mail to the General Secretary of the IAHR, Tim Jensen, The Study of Religions, University of Southern Denmark, Campusvej 55, DK-5230, Odense M, Denmark.

Deadline for bids: May 1st, 2010
