The Inter-University Graduate Conference is organised annually by the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics. This year the conference will take place on 17th May 2008 at the University of Cambridge. Participants will also be invited to attend a one day workshop on 16th May, focused around the English publication of Moscovici's Psychoanalysis: Its Image and Its Public. (More information on the workshop to follow in the future).
The one-day grad-conference (on the 17th) aims to provide a friendly environment in which research students can attend, develop contacts with other researchers in their field, and gain experience presenting research to their peers.
