The cost for main symposium attendance will be £25 in person, £5 online/concessions. The in-person data sessions on the 18th are free of charge but space is limited.
We are committed to supporting individuals from communities that have historically been marginalised and discouraged from progressing to academic research through structurally embedded forms of exclusion and bias. We particularly encourage submissions from researchers from Global Majority communities and researchers working in the Global South. Please register as concession.
We look forward to welcoming you.
