Apologies for cross-posting Please find below details of, and a registration form for, the first of an ESRC-funded seminar series on 'Restructuring Employment and Work in East-Central Europe'. Location: Centre for European Political Economy, Sussex European Institute, University of Sussex When: 18-19 June 1999 Overnight accommodation, breakfast, and other refreshments will be provided. There is, however, a £15 registration fee to cover administration and dinner costs. Those that do not wish to take part in the dinner are asked to pay a £5 registration fee. Unfortunately, registration can only be accepted with receipt of payment. Papers to be presented at the seminar will be circulated to registered participants prior to the meeting. One of the aims of the seminar series is to stimulate discussion of papers. Consequently, we are limiting numbers to around 30 participants. I therefore have to stress that attendance will be on a first-come first-served basis. ___________________________________________________________ Restructuring Employment and Work in East-Central Europe an ESRC-funded seminar series Centre on European Political Economy Sussex European Institute University of Sussex Inaugural seminar 18–19 June 1999 Friday 18 June 12.30 Arrival and registration, Sussex European Institute 12.30–13.30 Lunch SEI room A183 13.30–13.45 Opening remarks, Adrian Smith, University of Sussex SEI room A71 13.45–15.00 Guy Standing, International Labour Organization The Babble of Euphemisms: Re-Embedding Social Protection in "Transformed" Labour Markets 15.00–15.20 Refreshments 15.20–16.30 Sarah Vickerstaff and John Thirkell, University of Kent Trade Unions and the Politics of Transformation in Central and East Europe 16.30–17.30 Laszlo Czaban, University of Manchester The reorganisation of companies and the transformation of work organisations: employment strategies in Hungarian firms in the mid-1990s 18.00 Transport to Courtlands Hotel Evening Seminar dinner Saturday 19 June 8.00–9.00 Breakfast at Courtlands Hotel 9.00–9.30 Transport from Courtlands Hotel to University 9.30–10.40 Mike Ingham, University of Salford Gender and labour market restructuring in Central and Eastern Europe: a cross-country comparison 10.40–11.00 Refreshments 11.00–12.10 Frances Pine, University of Cambridge Surviving unemployment: women's strategies in two regions of Poland 12.10 Closing remarks and future directions Departure Abstracts of papers can be accessed at: http://www.geog.susx.ac.uk/research/changing_europe/restructuring.ht ml ____________________________________________________________ Restructuring Employment and Work in East-Central Europe an ESRC-funded seminar series Registration form I will/will not* be able to attend the inaugural meeting of the Restructuring Employment and Work in East-Central Europe at the Centre on European Political Economy, Sussex European Institute on 18–19 June 1999 *I would like to participate in the seminar dinner on Friday 18 June, and I enclose a cheque made payable to the 'University of Sussex' for £15.00 to cover registration and dinner costs. *I would not like to participate in the seminar dinner on Friday 18 June, and I enclose a cheque made payable to the 'University of Sussex' for £5.00 to cover registration costs * please delete Name: Address: Telephone number: Email address: Special dietary requirements: Please note numbers are limited.
