Practicalities and time-line
Deadlines
- In response to many requests we received form the conference participants we extend the deadline for draft papers/extended abstract submission to Friday 22 May 2009. This extension applies also to the commissioned papers.
- A detailed programme for the conference will be available from the 15th May (specifying exactly when each paper will be presented).
- You should book your hotel by the 1st May at the latest (however, we strongly suggest that you do this immediately as hotels are getting booked up. You can use the form on this website to book a hotel at a reduced rate).
- Your completed paper (or an extended abstract) should be submitted by the 15th May (if you are presenting); these will be made available to participants two weeks prior to the conference via the website.
Participants are responsible for all travel, hotel and subsistence costs. Lunches and a reception on the Thursday evening will be provided by the conference hosts.
On the Friday evening there will be a “self-organizing” entertainment at a number of bars and restaurants in the centre of Amsterdam. Participants will be given recommendations of places to meet up during the course of the evening.
Please let us know whether you plan to participate in the Thursday evening reception (and whether you are vegetarian or vegan) by immediately sending an email to conference2009@ksinetwork.nl (or in any case by 1st of May after which final numbers will be given to the venue).
