2003-03-04

The Project Start Page "Das Verbindende der Kulturen" (The Unifying Aspects of Cultures) has been reorganized. Among other things, categories have been added for announcing presentations and participation. Also explained separately are such matters as hotels/flights (with a search engine of the Austrian Travel Bureau (Österreichischen Verkehrsbüro for bargain flights), costs of travel and lodging, conference fee/meals as well as the possibility of obtaining a letter of invitation for a visa and a letter of support for a grant or subsidy. Newly added also are the Coordinating Committee, the Co-Organizers, and a list of participants (which will be expanded - as far as the information is available - by short biographies and links to contributions to the project) as well as information about sponsoring/ads. The section "Texts" has also been revised. Above all in this connection one should refer to the sections on Preparatory Events and to TRANS. (Since December 2002 in TRANS 14 alone 29 conference contributions, 9 Section or Workshop Reports and 5 Words of Welcome have been published.)
Six sections have been newly added (Blumenkrantz, Caglar, Fessenko, Ganglbauer, Rösch, Strähle). Two sections (Simo, Totosy) have been given new descriptions. Sections have accepted additional contributions, and abstracts of the sections have been translated.
