Do you have an interest in Europe? The 39th UACES Annual Conference is an opportunity to interact with delegates from a broad range of European-related disciplines. The previous conference in Edinburgh was the biggest European studies conference in the UK ever and we hope to match that performance in France.

The 2009 event will be a three day conference hosted by the Ecole Supérieure des Sciences Commerciales d’Angers (ESSCA), Loire Valley, France.

The conference will be one of the largest events of its kind in Europe during 2009 and will bring together European Union practitioners, politicians and academics in disciplines such as politics, economics and law from across Europe and beyond.

This year’s conference dinner will be held at Château de Brissac. Originally built as a fortified castle by the Counts of Anjou in the 11th century, the structure was transformed by Pierre de Brézé, a wealthy chief minister to King Charles VII in the 15th century. Today, the castle stands in seventy hectares of parklands, offering the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The evening will include a walk within the château, a cocktail aperitif and a three course dinner (plus wine and coffee).
