The conference will bring together senior and junior scholars of the field. Away from the hectic bustle of large-scale conferences it will offer unique opportunities for detailed discussions and networking. The academic programme will be completed by a social programme including a welcome reception allowing us ample time to catch up with old friends and to meet new members as well as a reception at the Basel Town Hall and a conference dinner on the second evening of the conference.

Registration opens on 1 April and closes at midnight UK time 1 May. To register, click here.
