BERA Conference 2024 and WERA Focal Meeting: Abstract Deadline 31st January

An upcoming deadline for my academic readers.

BERA Conference 2024 and WERA Focal Meeting 8-12 September 2024 University of Manchester BERA is delighted to be partnering with WERA for this event which will be an excellent way to celebrate BERA’s 50th anniversary and WERA’s 15th anniversary as learned societies. Building on the record-breaking attendance at both BERA and WERA 2023 conferences, we look forward to welcoming even more international delegates and providing a wonderful opportunity for delegates to disseminate research and network with like-minded colleagues from all across the world. For this unique event, we will gather in the northern city of Manchester. Manchester is known throughout the world for its football clubs, its international cricket ground where we host our gala dinner and its vibrant music scene including in recent years Oasis, the Smiths and the Stone Roses. Manchester is a melting pot of cultures and languages, with over 200 languages spoken, making it a truly diverse and enriching place to explore. The people of Manchester pride themselves on their warm welcome to visitors and so we look forward to returning to this vibrant, modern city. BERA and WERA look forward to welcoming you to our joint conference – whether you are a first-time delegate or have been to several or indeed many over the past 50 years.
