University of Sussex Conference Suite |
This year we are holding our annual
seminar as a joint event with the Sussex European Institute at the University of Sussex,
and are combining it with a commemoration of the life of a distinguished member of this
Branch, François Duchêne, who was also first director of the precursor of the present
Sussex European Institute. We are launching a new travel bursary scheme in memory of
François Duchêne for post-graduate students of the University.
As always, there will be ample time for discussion after each contribution. The conference
will adjourn at 2 pm to a nearby lecture theatre, to be joined by members of the
University and others.
