Dear Kristyna, Many thanks for the email on the UUK/ECU event. I am very interested in attending. Can I ask what there charge would be for a representative of SOAS (i.e. myself), given that our Director, Baroness Valerie Amos, is one of the key note speakers and that we are fully paid-up members of ECU? With apologies for asking!
