Conference Timetable And Events

SRHE Annual Research Conference is a participative event at which delegates presenting their own work also participate in the discussions in plenary sessions and at the presentations of the work of others. Time does not allow for sessions to be repeated. The Conference programme is therefore planned on the basis that delegates will attend the whole event over the scheduled three days.

The SRHE Annual Research Conference will begin on the morning of Wednesday 10 December 2014. Registration is open from 09.00 and the opening keynote session will commence promptly at 10.30. The Conference will end after lunch on Friday 12 December 2014 at 14.30.

Social And Networking Events

Networking with colleagues is an integral part of the SRHE Conference and social events are carefully structured to offer excellent opportunities for participants to meet and converse in a relaxed atmosphere.

Welcome Drinks Reception

Welcome Drinks Reception on Wednesday 10 December, open to all participants at the conference, followed by the opportunity to take dinner at one of four restaurants in the resort arranging to meet with specific colleagues, share tables with other delegates set aside for conference delegates or joining the SRHE Director’s Welcome dinner arranged especially for international delegates and first time attenders at SRHE Conference. For resident delegates dinner on this night is included in their conference fees. Non-resident delegates may also take dinner at the hotel on this evening for an additional fixed charge.

Drinks Reception on Thursday 11 December
