| The bread and the fish |
In the early 1990s I was the leader of a small group of Christians
who went on a 21-day tour to Egypt, Israel and Turkey and ever since I wanted
to go back to Israel, but unfortunately there are not many conferences in
Humanities or Theology held in this beautiful country to pick from. Therefore,
the 28th International Academic Conference that will be held in Tel Aviv,
7-11 March 2017 is worth mentioning. This is only the first of five such
conferences planned for the first half of 2017 by the International institute
of Social and Economic Sciences (IISES). Following the Tel Aviv conference will
be Rome, Venice, London and Geneva.
The conference will be multi-disciplinary and includes tracks on
Business and Economics, Qualitative methods, Social Sciences and Humanities,
Teaching and Education, Health and Welfare, Environment and Sustainable
development, Law in society, Energy resources and Policy and Technology and
Science.
It will be held at the College of Law and Business in Tel Aviv and
the early bird registration fee for non-members is 400 Euro (350 for members).
The call for abstracts is open and feedback turnaround is very quick, within
one week. This short response time and the fact that the early bird
registration will be open until 7 February 2017 provides an opportunity for
those who needs to wait for the start of the 2017 academic year before applying
for funds or leave.
The conference ends with a complementary day tour to the Dead Sea
(40 Euro for partners). If you consider going to this conference, please do
consider to stay on to explore this extraordinary country. Due to the size of
Israel, 5-7 days are sufficient to explore and discover the country and the
people but I am convinced that it would require a much longer stay to explore
in depth the real wealth and beauty of the Holy Land, outside of the well-known
tourist routes and attractions.
