It meets periodically and is intended to allow these young scholars an opportunity for cross-fertilization in their fields with their own peers and with an esteemed group of senior scholars led by Professors Israel Bartal, Dan Diner, David Engel, Zvi Gitelman, Oleg Budnitskii, and Gabriella Safran. BU has been a sponsor since the Fifth Session, held in Lviv, Ukraine in 2011. I will be participating again, along with the organizers at Hebrew University, Semion Goldin and Jonathan Dekel-Chen.

For more information see the Forum Call for Applicants.
