For all of you giving presentations at the forthcoming conference in Copenhagen can I offer the following guidance in response some questions: Registration: Please register as soon as possible for the conference so that I can include you in the programme. When you have done this can you also take some time to amend your abstract, title and biog details for inclusion in the Conference Brochure. These should be a short abstract of no more than 250 words and a very short biog of about Two sentences. Panels and Rountables should have an abstract of no more than 300 words and include a list of participating authors and titles for panels. Papers: The deadline for submission of papers is now 31st August. There are no papers for Rountables. There is no single format style which reflects the variety of disciplines covered by the proposals. They should however be no more than 7,000 words in length and no less than 2,500. Presentations: Each paper will receive 15 minutes for presentation and time at the end of the session for questions. I hope this covers everything for now but please let me know if you require further information to assist you. Brian Brian D.
