IALT Annual Conference 2011 November 18th-20th Athlone
Date: 30th August, 2011
Following on from the great success of the 30th Anniversary Conference in November 2010, attended by over 100 delegates, the IALT is delighted to announce that the 2011 Conference will be held on November 18th-20th 2011 at the Hodson Bay Hotel in Athlone. The IALT will also fund up to two postgraduate students to attend the conference (click here for more details).
The theme of this year’s conference is: ‘Added Value(s) - The Role of Law in Contemporary Society’.
As is traditional, the conference will have a strong academic tone, with a series of keynote and plenary sessions, alongside parallel sessions on discrete areas of law. That said, the conference is also traditionally a social event, and this year will be no exception, with a keynote speaker and social event on Friday night, a cultural outing on Saturday evening, a conference dinner on Saturday night and plenty of opportunities for networking and establishing contacts with colleagues researching and teaching in institutions other than one's own.
The call for papers for the conference is now open, and we would like to invite abstracts on any area of law. We will also happily receive suggestions for panels on specific topics. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is Friday 28th October. Please email abstracts to Michael.doherty@dcu.ie using the form below.
The first award from the IALT James C. Brady Teaching Innovation Fund will also be made at the conference. If you or a colleague would like to apply to the fund please see www.ialt.ie/about-us/prizes-competitions for details.
