The next annual CeMoRe research day will take place on Wednesday May 27th 2009 Bowland North SR10 from 09.30. For those of you who have not been involved before, this is an opportunity for Lancaster researchers, working on any aspects of mobilities research, to present short papers, make new contacts and develop fresh ideas. We encourage contributions from all parts of the university and welcome papers that report work in progress, present new ideas or summarise recently-completed projects.
