This conference is intended to focus on young researchers, to encourage them, and to provide a venue for them to present their work to the public. So, if you have graduate students or even older undergraduates who would like to spend April in Kyiv and meet the very charming and well-educated young folklorists and ethnologists of Kyiv, this is their chance. Even though the focus is on young researchers, there will be no age limit to conference participants.
