19-20 June 2006
This residential workshop will be held on the De Havilland campus of the
University of Hertfordshire, in Hatfield, England.
This workshop is designed to provide in-depth discussion of cutting-edge
issues in institutional economics, in a forum that permits the attention to
detail and definition that is often lacking in larger, conference-style
events. The expected maximum number of participants is 50. Please book early
to avoid disappointment.
The De Havilland Campus of the University of Hertfordshire is about one mile
from Hatfield railway station. There are regular trains from Hatfield to
London Kings Cross, taking about 20 minutes. There is easy access to all
London airports.
I hope very much that you will be able to participate in this event.
