In association with ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ’s 50th Anniversary Week in Oslo in June 2009, the CSCW and the CSCW node of the ESF/ECRP project are organizing a joint workshop at ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ on 11–12 June.
The workshop consists of seven thematic sessions with a total of 20 presentations, and brings together about 30 participants from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, and the UK.
The workshop formally commences at 1 PM on Thursday 11 June in the Operasjonssentralen meeting room in the Red Cross Conference Centre, adjacent to ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ, but interested participants are welcome to attend the official release of the new UCDP/ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ Armed Conflict Dataset, which takes place in the Henri Dunant conference room in the same building at 10 AM. Note also that all workshop participants are welcome to join the ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ seminar ‘Peace Research Then and Now’ in Henri Dunant immediately after the workshop ends on Friday afternoon, as well as the ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ Alumni Party later that evening.
The workshop consists of seven thematic sessions with a total of 20 presentations. Each paper is allocated 30 minutes, so participants are encouraged to prepare brief presentations (10-15 minutes) to allow sufficient time for the discussant and plenary discussions. Please note the paper submission deadline of 1 June. Papers should be sent to Johan Dittrich Hallberg (johandh@prio.no), with a copy to Halvard Buhaug (halvardb@prio.no), and we will make them available below. The meeting room is equipped with PowerPoint facilities, overhead projector, and wireless internet access, and coffee/tea and refreshments will be available during the breaks.
Out-of-town participants have been booked at . The remote (but scenery) location is not ideal, but a major trade event in Oslo during the same week shamelessly blocked all centrally located hotels two years ago. Participants arriving at Oslo Airport should take the train to Oslo Central Station (NOK 170), from which one can find public transportation to the hotel or make a short walk to ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ.
