The Joint Sessions of Workshops

17 – 28 May 2021, Virtual event

  #ecprjs21

Our 2021 Joint Sessions of Workshops will be held as a fully virtual event from 17 – 28 May. 

What to expect

We have invested heavily into developing a tailor-made online event platform to provide a robust virtual environment conducive to in-depth debates, valuable exchanges, and thorough critique of research.

We are committed to making our events accessible to a wide audience; with this is in mind, we have:

• reduced the Joint Sessions registration fees by up to 60%;
• increased event participant grants for graduate students and early career scholars from our Full Member Institutions;
• invested £10,000 in our 50th Anniversary Fund supporting those who aren't able to join us just yet.

Save the date!
