In addition, BABAO delegates will be able to contribute two abstracts to the “Being Human Festival” that takes place in the city. Each delegate will be able to propose an activity for each of the following events:
Saturday 4pm – 5pm: Public Exhibition
An exhibition style event where the public can come in and look at your posters, some of your materials, take part in small experiments. This will take place in the conference venue and will be followed by a public lecture by Professor Chris Stringer (5pm-6pm).
Sunday 2pm – 5pm: Meet the Anthropologist in the World Museum
Family science event in the World Museum. You will be allocated a table/display area in a museum space and talk to the public about your work. If you work on a Roman site you may choose to be in the Roman Gallery; if your research involves fish consumption in the past you may prefer to be in the aquarium.
Abstract submissions are by online form only. You will need to register and pay for the conference separately from the abstract submission using the registration link.
