[Commlist] Cancellation: Loughborough (UK) transitional justice conference (8-9 July) and pre-conference (7-8 July)

Wed Apr 08 20:12:39 GMT 2020





After serious deliberation, and consultation with Loughborough University, we decided today to cancel our upcoming transitional justice conference in Loughborough, scheduled for July 8-9.  That includes the PGR pre-conference workshops on 7-8 July. We have made this difficult decision as a result of monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 situation in Europe and around the world. We are aware of the numerous travel restrictions in place and national lockdowns currently in effect.

We have considered whether to move the event online. Unfortunately, the logistics of organising an online event are currently beyond our capabilities. We are an emergent network with limited funding. We are hoping to be able to move the conference and pre-conference workshops to November 2020 or early 2021 next year before the grant end date of Feb 2021 (provided of course we are back to ‘normal’ by then).

*Keep abstracts for the main conference and registrations for pre-conference workshops coming in so we can get a sense of future numbers.*We are hoping to run the conference and pre-conference workshops in the same format although we realise that due to the unpredictability of the situation some things may have to change at short notice. Once we get a better sense of future planning in consultation with Loughborough University, we will send early notifications of a new timeline by email, Twitter and network website (http://ahrc-transitionaljustice.org.uk).

These are unprecedented and worrying times. Our first priority is the health and safety of our network members and their families, as well as all those whose work is vital for us in our universities and other places of work.

All the very best from the conference chairs (Cristian Tileagă & Lavinia Stan) and AHRC Network Manager (Rachel Armitage)
