SCIENTIA 3
Third International Scientific Conference
(Challenges and Trends in the Humanities)
27–28 November, 2023
Last year, the Scientia scientific conference was held for the second time. This year, the third conference is already planned. The focus of the conference, as well as the *Scientia* journal, is the humanities.
The organizers of the conference are: the Korneli Kekelidze Georgian National Centre of Manuscripts, the Center for Humanitarian Research, and Tbilisi City Municipality.
The aim of the conference is to once again highlight academic innovations and issues within the field of humanities.
The conference aims to emphasize the importance of academic innovations and issues in the humanities and, through discussion, contribute to the development of the humanities in Georgia.
The thematic areas of the conference include:
• History and Archaeology
• Archival Studies and Historiography
• Epigraphy
• Textology and Codicology
• Digital Humanities
• Ethnology and Anthropology
• Restoration
• Linguistics
• Language and Literature
• Cultural Identities and Social Theories
Submission of conference applications is open until 5 November 2023. Along with the conference application — which must include the presenter’s name, surname, academic degree, affiliation, country, and contact information — an extended abstract must be submitted (2–4 A4 pages, in 11 pt Sylfaen font).
The Organizing Committee will provide the English translation of the abstract.
The conference will be held on 27–28 November 2023 in a hybrid format — both in the conference hall of the National Centre of Manuscripts and via the Zoom platform. Additionally, a collection of extended abstracts will be published and distributed to participants at the opening of the conference. Each publication will be assigned a DOI code.
We would also like to clarify that participation in the conference and the publication of abstracts are independent processes and do not imply automatic publication of articles in the *Scientia* journal.
