Conference programme

The ECPR's Standing Group on Regulation and Governance Conference 2012 will take place from Wednesday 27 to Friday 29 June 2012.

We are pleased to announce that we will be able to use the University of Exeter's brand new Forum building as a venue for some of the conference. The Forum project is a £48 million redevelopment of our Streatham Campus due to open in May 2012. The building forms a key part of significant investments across our campuses.

Please find an outline programme for the conference below.
