The 2014 N&N Symposium, which will take place in Curitiba, Brazil, is nearly upon us. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to release a preliminary version of the program. We are confident this won't change much in next month, but please bear in mind that the final details are still subject to change at this point.
In addition to the usual panels, of which there are four, we also have two keynote seminars with presentations from Professor Ian Wood and Professor Ralph Mathisen.
If you have any questions or comments about the symposium please feel free to email us: networksandneighbours@gmail.com
