The conference is scheduled to take place at 4 Hamilton Place, the London HQ of the RAeS, from 7th - 10th June 2004. It is a joint SETP/SFTE European Symposium. The programme is not yet fixed as the call for papers only went out in mid November. The cost will be £375 and I doubt that there will be a student rate (although you can always ask). Hence number one initiative test is to get someone to pay for it. Best of luck.
