The International Journal of Arts & Sciences (IJAS) is a double-blind refereed journal, available only in hard-copy (ISSN: 1557-718X). Its editorial board welcomes submissions through calls for papers in a wide variety of disciplines. IJAS serves an intellectual audience that is interested in the latest research coming out of universities around the world. The journal publishes research developments and disseminates them to an international audience.

We are hosting six refereed conferences for the 2008/9 academic year.
For each of our conferences we invite abstracts, papers or proposals in the following tracks:
Social Sciences and Humanities,
Business and Economics,
Teaching and Education,
Engineering and Technology,
Physical and Life Sciences, and
Interdisciplinary Studies.
Our attendees hail from all over the world and expect our conferences to offer more than a "parking" repository for abstracts and papers. Many attendees are curious about what lies beyond the conference premises. Cultural and educational developments know no boundaries.
In an era of globalization and multicultural sensitivity, study abroad programs are mushrooming all over the academic world. They are definitely a hot growth area on American campuses. They would grow even further if more academics had the opportunity to visit worldwide destinations to prepare study abroad programs for their students. Our conferences offer the perfect opportunity to blend in traditional conference services with locations that would make excellent venues for study abroad programs. It defies logic to treat conference venues as isolated academic silos when they may also double up as potential venues for study abroad programs. As a result, we promote each conference as inseparable from its geographical location and the location's history and culture. We work hard to find sponsors in each conference's geographic area that offer generous hospitality and tourism packages in parallel with our excellent conference package. We make our attendees' potential clear to our sponsors. Many graduate students who attend academic conferences have a lifelong career in academia in front of them. As a result, each conference attendee has the potential to multiply the number of future visitors to each destination in our conference calendar.

We strive to treat our participants in a holistic, dignified manner. For example, we do not use casinos to host our conferences. We would rather use university venues for our conferences, especially in areas which have universities.
We recognize that the extended concept in our conferences may not appeal to all academics and that not all academics are interested in hosting courses abroad or across one's country (especially in large countries such as Canada or the USA). We still welcome those who attend our conferences only to deliver or listen to research presentations. The final decision on how much time to spend in each conference's extra activities rests solely with each attendee.
Our sponsors offer a menu of services but the final choice of what to participate in, and to what extent, depends on each attendee.
IJAS retains the services of Professor Joseph Bonnici as coordinator. He has organized several study abroad programs (click here and here for examples) for Central Connecticut State University.
