Dear International Symposium Participants,

1) We would like to inform you that the Organizing Committee of the International Congress Globalistics-2015 (due to some international circumstances that are outside of its control) had to move its dates from October 20–25 to October 25–30, 2015. Accordingly, we have to move the dates of the 2nd International Symposium “Big History & Global Evolution” (that will be held in the framework of Globalistics-2015) from October 21–23 to October 26–28, 2015. We are very sorry for any inconveniences that this might cause you. We would like to ask you to confirm by August 5, 2015 the possibility of your participation in our International Symposium in the new dates, sending your respective messages to the following email addresses: leonid.grinin@gmail.com, akorotayev@gmail.com and stolyarova.evgeniya.2012@mail.ru.

2) The abstracts of the papers to be presented at the forthcoming International Symposium have been placed in the Internet at the following address: https://www.socionauki.ru/news/278269/

3) We would ask you to fill in the attached form and to send it back to us together with a scan of your passport – this is necessary to obtain Russian visas.

With all the best wishes,
