Organising committee of the Congress is pleased to announce a call for sections (panels) for the 7^th International Congress of Belarusian Studies. The Congress will take place on 15-17 September 2017 in Warsaw (Poland).

Sections (panels) are supposed to be sites for discussion of particular research problems or presentation of results of scholarly activity within certain disciplines or research fields.
