Presentations in panel sessions

Slots for presentations are 35 minutes, split more or less equally between your talk and the Q&A.
Each room has the equipment to project slides or other visual aids. Please take your slides with you on a flash drive and/or save them online. |
Opportunities for funding
|
Unfortunately, our budget does not allow us to fund the expenses of participants. Postgraduate students can apply for funding of their travel to the Society for Applied Philosophy. However, funding is only available to members of the Society.

Childcare provisions
The University of Birmingham has two day nurseries (http://www.birminghamdaynursery.co.uk): the Oaks and the Elms, the latter of which is near to the venues where most of our events will take place. They can offer childcare provisions for parents who are attending our events, although availability to accommodate a child will depend on the age of the child and the date. Ad hoc childcare can be arranged if there is no space in the nurseries and/or for (social) events outside family-friendly hours (e.g. public lecture, conference dinner, and closing drinks). We work with trained university students to provide this care. Care provisions for other care-dependents Other people for whom participants may care are welcome to our events. Alternatively, we can arrange ad hoc care for the duration of the entire conference or parts of it. We work with university students who have received special training to provide this care. |
Accessibility information
|
We have not yet chosen the precise venue, but the most important criterion for this is accessibility. We will post more information on the "Venue Information" page. In each case, the venue will be accessible to wheelchair users, have hearing loops, and service animals are welcome. There will also be a nearby quiet room.
We do not have services for translation (of general conference materials) to braille, sign language interpreters or palantypists. However, we are more than happy to work with people who require these services on an ad hoc basis, and can cover the costs. Please do not hesitate to contact [email protected] for more information. |
Food and refreshments during the conference
|
Lunches and refreshments (included in the registration) will be vegetarian and vegan. Please let us know if you have any other dietary restrictions or food allergies.
Dinner (in a nearby pub – vegetarian and vegan options available) on 28 May and drinks on 29 May are not included in the registration fee. You don’t have to register for this, but it would be good if you could confirm whether or not you’d like to join somewhere during the day, so we can give more accurate numbers to the pub. |
