Conference Timings
The conference will begin at 2.00pm on Wednesday 29th November 2006 and will finish at 5.00pm on Saturday 2nd December 2006. Registration will be from 12.30pm on the opening day of the conference.

Note on Attendance
The Steering Group wish to gently point to the fact that the aim of the conference is an emphasis on dialogue with the issues raised by the conference as a whole and engagement with the people attending the conference. These two elements are essential to the inter- and multi-disciplinary nature of the event. The Steering Group feel it is essential that delegates should be present for at least the majority of the conference so as to facilitate the exchange of perspectives for which the conference strives, and which any publication should clearly demonstrate. If it becomes clear that a delegate will not meet these conditions, they will be withdrawn from the conference with immediate effect.


Papers, Reports and Presentations
Papers should be of no more than 20 minutes duration (circa 8 pages). Reports and work-in-progress presentations should be of no more than 15 minutes duration. The time allotted to workshops will considered on an individual basis. Other forms of presentation will be considered on request.

Abstracts are to be submitted by Friday 22nd September 2006 at the latest. Abstracts may be submitted before that date. You will be notified within 7 days of submission whether your proposal has been accepted or rejected.

Full conference papers are to be submitted by Friday 17th November 2006 at the latest. Please submit papers to the Organising Committee.

Both the 300 word abstract and the draft paper will be available on this web site before the conference commences. Papers will initially be available in downloadable .pdf format; if time permits, they will also be available in Word format as well.

 

Publishing Process
All conference papers accepted for and presented at the conference will be published in an ISBN eBook with the Inter-Disciplinary Press.

Up to 12 selected papers will go forward for inclusion in a hard copy ISBN themed volume in the 'At The Interface/Probing the Boundaries' series published by Rodopi.

Editors for the eBook will be sought from those attending the conference.


Venue and Accommodation
The conference is being held at the Pugetow Palace, Cracow, Poland, which is on the grand avenue of Starowislna, just a couple of minutes away from the Historic City Centre and Old Town Quarter. Please see the Venue and Accommodation section for further information.

A number of both single and twin bedded rooms have been reserved at a variety of hotels close to the conference at a specially discounted rate. Whilst delegates must book directly with the hotel, these rates can only be accessed by completing a special hotel reservation form which will be given to you on submission of a conference registration form, and which must then be faxed or emailed directly to the named person at the hotel.

Delegates are, of course, free to find alternative accommodation.
