Just a quick reminder that the deadline for our call for papers for UKMW11 is 2 September (this Friday). UKMW11 will take place at the Imperial War Museum on 25 November 2011.
The three themes are (we'll refine the titles and order once we know what the papers are!):
Session 1 - getting it right from the start (project infrastructure - tendering, management, partnerships, collaboration)
Session 2 - designing for re-use/for the future (making the most of what we've got)
Session 3 - redefining success (better metrics and beyond)
For each theme we would like to have one paper that frames the subject and puts it in the context of the landscape we are currently working in, and one or two positive case studies/success stories. We would like all speakers to include actionable lessons in their papers.
If you would like to propose a paper for one of these three themes, please email [log in to unmask] by 2 September 2011 including the following information:
* Your name
* The organisation you work for if applicable
* The theme under which you envisage your paper sitting
* A short summary of what your paper will cover (up to 200 words)
* Have you given this paper or talked about this project at a previous conference? If so which conference and when?
We will aim to make a decision on which papers to include and let you know by 9 September.
Please be aware that this is the first time that we've attempted a call for papers, and that as we only have a one-day conference, we cannot hope to cover everything. If your paper is not accepted this time, we hope you won't be too disappointed.
We look forward to reading your proposals.
If you know of any projects, even if they aren't your own, that you think we should know about for the conference, please let us know by emailing [log in to unmask]
Best wishes,
Ross, Gemma, Denise, Mia, Rhiannon, Carolyn, Angelina, John, Angus, Dafydd, Dave and Linda for the MCG Committee
