Dear colleagues,
I'm delighted to announce that registration is now open for WIGS
2011, to be held at the University of Leeds and the nearby Heart
Centre in Headingley. We had an unprecented response to our call for
papers, and are therefore breaking with WIGS tradition and holding
the conference over two days in order to take advantage of the
wonderful array of papers offered to us.
The programme and registration form are attached. Both can also be
downloaded from the WIGS website at http://www.wigs.ac.uk/
wigsconference.html.
Please note that papers should be 20 minutes in length and up to 10
minutes are allowed for questions. Speakers are kindly requested to
adhere to their allotted time so that delegates may swap around from
half hour session to half hour session if they wish.
There will be a postgraduate training event held on the afternoon of
the 11th. Details of this will follow in the next couple of weeks.
For postgraduate members of WIGS: WIGS is able to provide a
contribution towards the *travel costs* of postgraduates attending a
WIGS annual meeting. It cannot provide support to cover the meeting's
fee or accommodation. Applications for this support must be made via
e-mail to the Treasurer (Karina Lindeiner-Strasky, strasky@uni-
mainz.de ) by *one month* before the date of the conference, giving
details of expenses. Further details are available on our website,
http://www.wigs.ac.uk/travelgrants.html.
Hoping very much to meet as many of you as possible at this very
exciting event,
Please do contact me with any questions,
with best regards,
Helen Finch
