RC32 panels at forthcoming IPSA World Congress, Madrid
11:23 - By Hal Colebatch - RC32 activities
There has been a lot of interesting activity over the past few months, putting together the agenda for discussion for the World Congress in Madrid in July. The previous limit on the number of panels has been relaxed, and we have been encouraged to make links with other research committees. As a result, we will be sponsoring twenty-three panels at Madrid, twelve of them co-sponsored with other research committees.
The full listing of panels, paper titles and abstracts can be found on the IPSA website (www.ipsa.org -> Madrid Congress -> list of panels -> RC32). For the names of our panels, read on.
