We shall place as many papers and summaries as possible on the website before the Conference. The Proceedings will eventually be published in book form.

Relevant source documents are published in the Archive section of this website.

Our intention is that this conference will be a beginning, leading to future activities. A rolling programme of discussions and conferences. Perhaps a series of nomadic seminars.
