DEBE 2005: EARLY BOOKING DEADLINE REMINDER
The DEBE Conference will showcase the best of economics education. It will
provide delegates with:
* information on the latest research into pedagogy in economics
* practical advice for lecturers and teaching assistants
* guidance on balancing competing work interests
* ideas for engaging students in the subject
The conference is heavily subsidised for delegates based within an
educational institution. For example, the full delegate rate (which includes
conference registration, lunch, dinner and one night's accommodation) for
those that book before 29th July is GBP 100.
For the first time we are also offering up to 50 free places to UK-based
postgraduate students. This covers fees, accommodation and reasonable travel
expenses to the conference. Each university department is restricted to a
maximum of 5 places so if you think that some of your postgraduate students
who teach would benefit from attending the conference, please let us know as
soon as possible so what we can reserve their places.
Further details about conference packages, costs and booking forms are
available at:
