Deadline for Abstracts: *THIS* Friday April 1st

The clocks went back this morning, and time is running out to apply to present at New Horizons! The deadline is coming soon – so do finish off your proposals and send them in. If you have any queries and want to run your ideas past the committee first, do email your questions.

Please send 300-word abstracts to postgradconference@aber.ac.uk  by no later than Friday April 1st. If you are interested in giving your presentation in Welsh, please indicate on the abstract.

Conference Location

The conference will be held over three days at the National Library of Wales – one of the UK’s five copyright libraries. As a copyright depository, it is entitled to receive a copy of every published work from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland – home to millions of books; this the perfect location for our conference.

Between panels and events you will be able to browse in the gift shop and have a meal in Pen Dinas, the on-site restaurant with breathtaking views of the Ceredigion coast.

The Library also has numerous exhibitions including:

Tour

As part of the conference delegates are being given a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of the library. Experienced staff will give you an introduction to the library’s history, its collections and its extensive building (including layers of underground archives that, rumors has it, housed the Crown Jewels and Magna Carta during World War Two!).

Coming soon...

A delegate registration form will soon be available on the website - do check back in a few days.
