Guidelines for Organizing a Nangeroni Meeting

The Nangeroni Meeting is meant to be a meeting of around 30 scholars (as compared to the Nangeroni Meetings which are designed to have 50-80 participants). It includes:

• 6-7 major paper authors
• 6-7 major paper respondents
• 12-16 short paper authors
• Up to 4 reading sessions chairs

Organizing a Nangeroni Meeting is a 4-step process

• First Step: An Enoch Seminar Member(s) proposes a topic, which then must be approved by the Enoch Seminar Board of Directors.
  • Timeframe: 2 years prior to date of proposed Nangeroni Meeting

• Second Step: The appointed chair(s) of the Nangeroni Meeting should gather a group of at least 5-10 colleagues, who are committed to participate in the Meeting and collaborate on its organization. At this point, an email will be sent to the Enoch Seminar members, announcing the proposal and asking those who are particularly interested in the topic to join the organization of the Meeting.
  • Timeframe: 1.5 years prior to the date of the Nangeroni Meeting

• Third Step: The appointed chair(s) must present the final schedule, including the major authors and paper topics to the Enoch Seminar Board of Directors for final approval.
  • Timeframe: 1 year prior to the date of the Nangeroni Meeting

• Fourth Step: The Enoch Seminar Board of Directors will announce and advertise the program and registration for the Nangeroni Meeting until the maximum number of participants (~35) is reached.
  • Timeframe: 8-6 months prior to the date of the Nangeroni Meeting
