Symposium: Provisional Schedule

[Update: The Symposium is now full and with a substantial waiting-list. Unfortunately the room cannot fit any more people, and so if you have not registered already then you will not be able to attend. We are happy to put you on the waiting-list, but it is very unlikely that a space will become available at this stage.]

This is the full schedule for the Symposium on 5 September 2011. Please note that it is provisional -- in particular the order of papers could change -- but the overall picture should not. Any questions can be sent to the usual e-mail address: digipal [at] kcl.ac.uk

We look forward to seeing you there!
