The EELC wants to start to series of Digital Meetings for Emerging Scholars from Eastern Europe. The idea is to allow younger scholars in  New Testament and Early Christian Studies (plus Old Testament scholars), that is, young persons from Eastern Europe with an outstanding Master’s Thesis, doctoral students and/or post-docs, to present aspects of their research to a group of senior scholars and at the same time get to know each other and start creating their own scholarly network(s). 

These meetings will – at least for the moment – be organized by the Universität Regensburg Chair of NT/Centre for Advanced Studies “Beyond Canon”. 

Proposed Format:

1) Five Papers by emerging scholars per Day (25 min.s paper + 30-35 min.s of discussion). Language: English, German or French (SNTS languages) plus breaks in chatrooms (allowing internal discussions between young scholars)

2) Emerging scholars may apply for a paper at the chair of NT Studies Regensburg (Ова адреса ел. поште је заштићена од спамботова.

Even if their first proposal is rejected (because of lack of places) they may participate as guests at the meeting. We are also open to answer any kind of questions.

3) The meeting will take place via zoom. 

4) Date of Meeting 1: Saturday 12th june 2021, 9.30 am – 5.30 pm (including breaks).

5) Deadline for Proposals for Meeting 1: Saturday 15th May 2021 (the earlier the better!!!)

6) A second Meeting is pre-scheduled for Saturday, 11th december 2021.
