Abierta la subida de papers a la XXXIX Reunión de Estudios Regionales - Oviedo,  21 y 22 de noviembre de 2013

Queridos/as colegas,

Hemos recibido cerca de 270 resúmenes para participar en la XXXIX Reunión de Estudios Regionales que organizaremos en Oviedo. Esta cifra, una de las más altas de la historia de este congreso, es sumamente alentadora y refuerza nuestras ganas de ofrecer un marco para el desarrollo de esta reunión lo más completo posible.

Os recordamos que podeis remitir la comunicación completa en cualquier momento desde ahora hasta el 30 de septiembre. El envío se hace a través de la plataforma web del congreso ( http://www.reunionesdeestudiosregionales.org/). Desde esta plataforma se enlaza también a la aplicación que permite realizar el pago mediante el procedimiento que os resulte más cómodo (el enlace a la aplicación es:  http://www.reunionesdeestudiosregionales.org/Inscripciones-61-home). Ante cualquier problema no dudéis en poneos en contacto con nosotros. Tan pronto como nos sea posible concretaremos el programa científico de las jornadas con las sesiones espaciales y conferencias plenarias que estamos preparando.

Aunque imaginamos que la mayoría reservara su viaje por cualquiera de los operadores virtuales os recuerdo que tenemos un acuerdo con la agencia de viajes Barceló de Oviedo para que os apoyen, si lo necesitáis, en la reserva de viaje y hotel (datos en: http://www.reunionesdeestudiosregionales.org/Desplazamiento%20y%20Alojamiento-73-home). En unos días os trasladaremos una oferta que hemos negociado para nuestros congresistas de un extraordinario complejo hotel-spa ( http://www.lascaldasvillatermal.com) situado a menos de 5 kilómetros de Oviedo para quienes deseéis pasar el fin de semana en Asturias.

Un afectuoso saludo, el comité organizador.
