DARTS 2 - The Second Discover Academic Research Training & Support Conference

Date: Thursday 11th June 2009 - Friday 12th June 2009.
Time: Conference begins at 12.00 noon on the Thursday and concludes at 4.00pm on the Friday.

This is a two-day residential conference on the subject of library support for research in Higher Education. The conference will address a broad range of issues relating to how libraries can best support academics and researchers across an ever-changing educational environment. Speakers will represent a wide range of experience from not only libraries but also our customers. Topics to be covered will include both UK and European research support projects, researchers' needs and also the new REF. We hope to provide a forum for information professionals with a role or interest in supporting research to meet and discuss in pleasant surroundings. As before, DARTS hopes to bring together the broadest range of experience and delegates from all levels of responsibility under one roof.

The conference will be held at Dartington Hall, a 14th Century Manor House on a 1500-acre estate in the heart of South Devon. Accommodation is provided around Dartington's medieval courtyard and delegates have access to the 40-acre gardens created by Beatrix Farrand. Meals are served in the beamed dining rooms of the Hall and local wines, ales and ciders will be available from The White Hart, Dartington's award winning bar and restaurant. Further information about the conference venue can be found at http://www.dartingtonhall.com/

UCR Members: £300 + VAT standard rate.
