European Studies Research Students' Conference

Please scroll down the page for further information -->

This one-day conference is aimed at research students of all levels who are engaged in the field of European related studies. The emphasis of the conference will be placed on tackling the specific challenges which arise at varying stages of the doctoral process. This event offers an ideal introduction to the UACES community as well as an opportunity to meet fellow academics who are engaged in related fields of research.

The conference is hosted by the European Commission Representation in the UK and the UK Office of the European Parliament, London.

Programme
Please refer to the UACES Student Forum website to view the most recent programme. UACES reserves the right to make changes to the programme if necessary.

Venue
The address of the conference venue is: 8 Storey's Gate, London SW1P 3AT. The closest tube station, St James's Park, is a 5-minute walk away.

Registration
To register for the conference, please complete the registration form. The registration fee is £25.00 for UACES members and £40.00 for non-UACES members. Membership of the UACES Student Forum or the EuroResearch email list does not constitute membership of UACES. It will NOT be possible to register on the day of the conference. Lunch and refreshments are included in the registration fee.

The registration deadline is Thursday 1st November.

Funding
The conference is a teaching conference. As such, many Universities (not all), will pay the registration fee on your behalf if they deem that the conference is an appropriate event for you to be attending. Please check with your supervisor or Department Secretary to find out what the situation is at your University.

Parallel Sessions
On the programme, you will see that some of the sessions are in parallel and you will not be able to attend both. On the registration form, please indicate which of the parallel sessions you would like to attend - you can change your mind on the day, but the information helps us to allocate a room with enough capacity for each session.

Travel Assistance
UACES student members are eligible to claim back some of their travel expenses from attending this conference.

UACES Student Forum Elections
During the conference, there will be elections for places on the Committee of the UACES Student Forum. Any student attending the conference or on the EuroResearch email list is eligible to vote. If you wish to stand for election you should contact any of the current UACES Student Forum Committee members. Any student may nominate themselves to stand for election, although it is expected that any successful candidate should join UACES (if they are not already a member). Further information about the elections will be posted to the Student Forum website.

Navigating around London
If you are not familiar with London, and need some help finding your way around, Transport for London have an online journey planner. You can also use Google Maps - just type in the postcode of your departure point, click on the 'from here' link in the speech bubble and then type in the postcode of your destination (i.e. SW1P 3AT).

Accommodation
The conference is a one-day event. Delegates will need to make their own arrangements for accommodation if they are planning to stay overnight. In the past, delegates have benefited from discounted rates occasionally on offer from Travelodge (www.travelodge.co.uk); Travelodge King's Cross and Travelodge Farringdon are fairly convenient as you can take the tube to the venue (see above for Navigating around London).
