Proceedings and perspectives
of the Interdisciplinary research on Psaltiki
The 1st International Interdisciplinary Musicological Conference of the Department of Psaltic Art and Musicology (Volos Academy for Theological Studies) had the title: «Psaltiki as an autonomous science: Scientific branches – Related Scienftific Fields – Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Interaction» aiming to highlighting a) the necessity for self-determination of the discipline of musicology on the psaltic art; b) the possibilities available for its interdisciplinary approach and c) the possibilities offered by the psaltic art as a tool for the support of other disciplines. Thus, this first Conference approached the study of Psaltiki as an autonomous science, a theoretical background of the interdisciplinarity was laid down and, for the first time, its scientific branches were defined (even if simply as suggestions, for some of them). The most important point was the strong interest expressed for for every kind of interdisciplinary collaboration, to all possible directions of research.
With the 2nd International Interdisciplinary Musicological Conference, with the title “ΑπόΧορούκαιΟμοθυμαδόν” (=all together and in the same mood), the Department of Psaltic Art and Musicology of the Volos Academy for Theological Studies calls for actual, concrete suggestions of interdisciplinary collaboration on and about the Psaltiki, which can be formulated as topics for international research programs (even immediately, in round tables that can take place during the conference) and their realization can be planned for the near future.
As in the previous year, this time the Conference will again be open to all the scientific approaches on the study of Psaltic Art. Thus, since there are no separate thematic categories, there is an invitation to all the scientific disciplines to study the possibility of a correlation of their scientific fields with the Psaltic Art. Theology, Philosophy, Sociology, Anthropology, Philology, History, Law, Psychology, Medicine, Mathematics, Natural Science, Computer Science, Technology and, of course, Musicology; all the sciences are invited to find fields for studies in Psaltic art or topics for interaction with it.
The Conference will take place in the Conference Center of the Holy Metropolis of Demetrias, in Melissiatika, Volos, Greece, between June 9th and 11th, 2016.
Proposals for contribution in the Conference must be submitted to the Organizing Committee, to the e-mail address tomeaspsaltikis@gmail.com, not later than February 12th, 2016.

The Conference participation fee is fixed as 120 € per person, and it includes accommodation for two nights (in double bed rooms) in the Olympic Games Hostel of the Municipality of Volos, all meals starting with the dinner of June 9th and ending with the lunch of June 11th, movements to and from the Conference center, the hostel and the center of the city of Volos, the Conference folder, coffees and cookies for the breaks, and acceptance in all the musical activities that will accompany the Conference, as well as the publication of the Conference proceedings online (in pdf. form, as submitted by the participants). It does NOT include expenses for the case of printed publication of the Conference proceedings.
Regarding questions of accommodation. It is not obligatory for participants to stay in the Olympic Hostel, if they don’t wish to, neither to participate in the conference boarding. In this case, the Conference fee is subdued, as defined in the relative webpage (http://www.tomeaspsaltikis.gr/index.php/en/conf-3/2nd-international-interdisciplinary-conference-on-psaltic-art/economic-issues ). Participants who don’t wish to make use of the accommodation and boarding facilities can communicate with the Organizing Committee about this.
Participants who wish to share their room with a concrete co-participant, must inform the Organizing Committee in time.
Due to the lack of space, we cannot promise single-bed rooms to all those who will ask for a single-bed room, neither the accommodation of accompanying people. Issues of accommodation in single-bed rooms and of accommodation of accompanying persons will be considered, if there is such a possibility, after March 30th, when the confirmation of Conference participants will have been completed. Of course, we can suggest economic solutions for accommodations in hotels of the city of Volos.
The participation fee for the 2nd International Interdisciplinary Conference covers mainly costs of accommodation and boarding. In case that any participant does not wish to use these facilities, he can address the Organizing Committee in order to pay a reduced fee.
Regarding the printed Conference Proceedings
Proceedings of the 2nd Conference (2016) will be officially published digitally on the web (with ISBN code), as it has been done already with the 1st Conference (2014). http://www.tomeaspsaltikis.gr/index.php/en/conf-3/1st-international-interdisciplinary-musicological-conference/proceedings-of-the-1st-musicological-conference ).
