Abstracts should be submitted in English and should include the main issues addressed, the general research framework and how it relates to the conference theme.

Only one proposal per applicant should be submitted. With the submission presenters are asked to indicate the length of time required for their presentation. The maximum permitted presentation time will be 30 minutes.

The main language of the conference will be English. There will be conference fee of £30 per delegate (students and academic staff £25).
