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.
