June 30-July 5, 2005
Every two or three years, individuals of Lithuanian heritage from many
countries gather at a symposium to share their scientific research, academic
insights, and creative accomplishments.
The XIII World Lithuanian Symposium of Arts and Sciences (Symposium), under
the sponsorship of Lithuanias president, will take place in Lithuania, on
June 30 through July 5, 2005. The first part will be held in Vilnius, and
the second part in Kaunas, Klaipėda, and Šiauliai. The Symposia are aimed to
provide an opportunity for individuals to present their professional and
creative accomplishments in arts and sciences as well as a wide range of
cultural subjects.
The organizers are herewith inviting scholarly papers on achievements in the
areas of arts and sciences, societal and cultural developments. Proposals
are invited for discussions and seminars that would address topics not only
of interest to general audiences, but also of vital importance on how arts
and sciences may and can contribute to Lithuanias vitality and cultural
growth. There will be opportunities to mingle and meet Lithuanian scholars
and individuals working in the areas of sciences and creative arts from many
parts of the world. The languages of the Symposium will be Lithuanian and
English. Papers and presentations from non-Lithuanian authors are also
invited as long as the subject matter deals with topics related to
Lithuania.
The Lithuanian Symposium was initiated in the U.S. in 1969 by
Lithuanian-Americans, many of who had fled the Soviet occupation of
Lithuania during the second world war. The 6th Symposium was held in 1989,
in Chicago, IL. Besides numerous Lithuanian scholars from the free world, it
also attracted 114 individuals from scientific and creative arts fields in
Lithuania, then still under the rule of the Soviet Union. The topics
discussed provided the intellectual stimulus and moral support to the people
of Lithuania in their quest to re-establish their national independence.
Since 1991, the Symposium had alternated between the United States and
Lithuania and served to strengthen ties among Lithuanian scientists and
academics working in different countries.
Proposals for active participation at the Symposium are welcome from
individuals from all areas of endeavor. Those who wish to participate with
presentations are invited to visit the symposium website (http://www,lms.lt)
