The conference languages are Persian and English. Each session has its own language or languages, shown beside it in the programme. The texts of the talks and presentations are published on this site in both languages, and you can read them in the language you prefer before or after each session.
Venues and getting around
Most sessions take place at The Hague Central Library, in Hall A, Hall B and the Atrium. The workshops are at The Hague Humanity Hub and the exhibition at The Grey Space in the Middle. The library, the Humanity Hub, The Grey Space, Bookstor and Pulchri Studio are in the city centre, within walking distance of one another. Grand Café Utopie is farther out, west of the centre; allow more time to reach the welcome evening. Each venue is described in the Piece 'Conference venues'.
In person and online
Most sessions are both in person and online. The welcome evening, the exhibition, the book launch and the dinner are in person only. If you take part online, the link for each session is placed on that session's page.
