Dear Sir or Madam,
Arts and Humanities Research Board consultative symposium on
the funding of research in Modern Languages and Linguistics.
I am writing to invite you to the above event, which will take place on
Friday 1 December 2000, at Carlton House Terrace, London.
The Arts and Humanities Research Board attaches the utmost
importance to consulting the views and responding to the needs of
the communities it serves. The symposium on the funding of
research in modern languages and linguistics is part of its on-going
consultation process and will offer delegates the opportunity to
consider aspects of the Board's strategy.
The symposium will start at 10.30 am and finish at approximately
3.30 pm, with lunch provided. The morning session will be
introduced by Professor David Eastwood, Chief Executive of the
AHRB, and include a presentation by Dr Michael Jubb, Director of
Programmes at the AHRB, followed by a plenary discussion.
During the afternoon a number of break-out groups will be convened
to consider specific topics, with the conveners of the groups
reporting back to the delegates in the final session. Issues to be
covered will include research training for postgraduates; the
development of the Board's postgraduate schemes; the structure of
its peer review systems; and how to evaluate the success of its
awards. A detailed programme will be available on the day.
For reasons of space, we may have to limit the numbers attending
the symposium, and we shall offer places on a 'first come first
served' basis.
Please fill in the attached pro-forma and return it to Ms Barbara
Perks at our Bristol office (AHRB, Northavon House, Coldharbour
Lane, Bristol BS16 1QD) to let us know if you wish to attend this
event. A charge of £30 per head (cheques in advance, made
payable to The British Academy and sent to the Bristol office) will
be made. Replies by 20 November 2000 would be appreciated.
Yours sincerely
Angela Murphy
