This module gives students the opportunity to learn how to organise a conference as an individual or as part of an organising committee. The conference may address a general or specific theme and may attract participants from Ireland and/or abroad. The student must be centrally involved in organising the conference. For this module a conference may also be taken to mean a workshop, seminar series or Summer School. Students are expected to engage in some or all of the following activities: draft and disseminate calls for papers, assess and select papers, invite speakers, identify and invite panel chairs, organise the conference venue, organise travel and subsistence for speakers, make up conference packs, arrange paper streams, administer finances, mange the event on the day and handle publication of any conference proceedings.
