Decisions surrounding the titles of their health conference are yet to be made.
All colloquia are held in Room 247, Sir Robert Webster Building, at the University of New South Wales, from 3-5 pm. The ESRC is looking to establish a multidisciplinary initiative, drawing on the established social scientific disciplines to interrogate the social, psychological, economic, geographical and political implications of genomics. It will be funded for a five-year period in the first instance, but with the possibility of continuing ESRC support beyond the first quinquennium. We have been given the task of undertaking an email consultation throughout the academic and user communities as to what the substantive research programme of the initiative should be over next five years. We are also interested in hearing views as to the structure of the initiative.
