ANNOUNCEMENT:

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE PROGRAMME FOR THE EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE 
CONFERENCE 2007!

EARLY-BIRD-REGISTRATION ENDS 8TH MAY 2007! Late registration will be 
open until 15th June.


The Experiential Knowledge Conference 2007, which will be held on 29th 
of June 2007 at the University of Hertfordshire. EKC2007 will address 
the theme of “New Knowledge in the Creative Disciplines” and explore 
what is understood as (new) knowledge in research and creative 
practice, and what role it plays in defining the research agenda.

EKC 2007 has received a great international response and thus promises 
to offer challenging multi-vocal debates around the conference theme, 
and to facilitate exchange and cross-fertilization between the creative 
disciplines and other practice-led disciplines such as education and 
knowledge management.
