EAHIL + ICAHIS + ICLC 2015 Workshop

The International Programme Committee for the joint EAHIL + ICAHIS + ICLC 2015 Workshop is calling for your input!

The aim of the survey is to gather your views on topics that are being considered by the IPC.

The IPC will draw on your feedback to select topics and design the Workshop.

The theme of the Workshop is 'Research-Minded: understanding, supporting, conducting research'.

The primary aim of the Workshop is to equip participants with greater understanding of, and practical skills in, research approaches and methods.

Here is where you will find the survey: https://www.survey.ed.ac.uk/eahil-icahis-iclc-2015

In case it is handy to read before or alongside the survey, here is a PDF containing all of the topics: http://www.docs.is.ed.ac.uk/mvm/EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC_workshop_consultation.pdf

The consultation survey closes on 13 November 2014 at 23:50 GMT.

Remember to save the dates for the Workshop: 10-12 June 2015.

We hope to see you in Edinburgh, Scotland, next year!
