Formed in 1993, the Hungarian Society for the Study of English (HUSSE) is the most significant scholarly society in Hungary devoted to the promotion and cultivation of English studies, in its versatile interdisciplinarity, ranging from literature through history to linguistics, from film studies through cultural studies to drama studies, and from British Studies through Irish, Canadian and Australian Studies to American Studies. The Society aims at disseminating the most recent developments in scholarship by providing a space for its members to present their research results at conferences and in publications, while it also forms a scholarly body of more than two hundred members, thus creating a supportive community both for its upcoming junior and established senior members to launch stimulating and invigorating dialogues in the best spirit of intellectual exchange which all parties can only profit from. HUSSE is a member association of the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE). HUSSE is generously supported by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

-
1. no institutional financial support to pay the membership fee;
AND
2. no institutional financial support to cover the HUSSE conference registration fee.
- To apply for the partial fee waiver, the HUSSE member (whether a full fee-paying member, a PhD student or a retired colleague) must comply with both of the conditions above.
- The maximum sum of the partial fee waiver amounts to the sum of the membership fee the HUSSE member is obliged to pay (full fee: HUF 8000; PhD fee: HUF 6000; retired fee: HUF 4000).
- You will be able to apply for the partial fee waiver on the online registration site of the conference. You will be guided through a set of questions to make sure your eligibility and the sum of the fee waiver. Your membership – and the mode of fee payment (whether institutional or individual) – will be checked by the HUSSE administrator. The fee waiver will not be automatic even if an applicant meets both conditions above, as the financial sources for this support are not unlimited: HUSSE can provide HUF 200.000 for these purposes.
We will continue to update the conference page, please check back for updates.
