Final registration details will be announced in February 2018.

We also welcome proposals from doctoral research students, who will be allocated twenty minutes for their paper and ten minutes for discussion, and given free registration.

Some financial assistance may be available to those whose participation depends upon it; please indicate if this is the case when submitting your abstract.
