Dear colleagues,

After the inaugural Ab Initio Forum meeting last June at UCL (organised by Dagmar Paulus), we are currently in the early planning stages for the next AI Forum meeting, a one-day event to be held at Aston University, Birmingham, in June 2018. We hope to bring together many practitioners of Ab Initio German from universities in the UK and beyond. 

In this initial stage, we are inviting suggestions for topics to be discussed on the day. Following on from last year’s event, we set up a members-only Dropbox folder as a place to share ideas, materials, etc. If you are not yet a member of the network, please contact Dagmar Paulus ([log in to unmask]). 


Any questions or suggestions can be addressed to Dagmar or myself.

Kind regards,
Elisabeth and Dagmar
