Programme Practicalities The main Conference venue is the Ramphal Building (number 45). Some sessions will also take place in other rooms located in the Social Studies Building (number 52, where the Department of Economics is located), the Library (number 32), Physics (number 42) and Humanities (number 24). A map of the University Central Campus can be found in your delegate bag. All rooms are equipped with Overhead Projectors (OHPs) and computer projection facilities. There is a desktop computer in each room and also a cable for connection to your laptop. In each room the internal computer has the Microsoft Office suite of programmes plus a pdf reader and internet access. General Sessions General Sessions are 90 minutes long with three speakers per session. Each speaker is expected to restrict their presentation to about 20-25 minutes with 5-10 minutes for questions and answers. The General Session chair is the last-named presenter in the session and has the responsibility of time-keeping throughout the session. In the event that one speaker fails to turn up on the day, the ses-sion chair should still allocate about 30 minutes to each paper and should run the presentations con-tinuously from the announced start time. Internet A computer room with 4 laptops connected to the Internet is available during the whole Conference on the first floor of the Ramphal Building in room R1.03. Other computer rooms can also be ac-cessed around the campus. To access any computer connected to the University network, you can use the following login and password:
