Conferences
As an open collaborative platform, CMTC offers its members an opportunity to organize international conferences on subjects related to the Centre’s broad academic vision. Every conference is organized by a separate team, and most conference are eventually developed into separate issues of our peer-reviewed Journal. As an open grass-roots academic initiative, the Centre accepts applications for organization of academic conferences from the associate members who do not have a formal affiliation to Oxford University.
