Project workshops
The 123 agreement project will include three workshops, with one running each year 
. Research papers relating to a variety of aspects of the agreement will be presented at these workshops. Calls for papers will be issued prior to each workshop, and the workshops will be widely advertised.
***WORKSHOP TWO POSTPONED***
Unfortunately, it has become necessary to postpone workshop two. This is due to circumstances beyond the control of the project members, relating to the "validation" of the conference by the Indian authorities, which is necessary for obtaining visas and so on. A new system in this regard in India has led to significant delays, and it has become clear that we cannot proceed with the event on the originally scheduled dates (23-24 March 2010).
The current intention is to re-schedule the workshop for late April 2010, to allow for the necessary time for clearance to be given. However, a new date cannot be confirmed at this time. Any new date will be posted here at least three weeks prior to the workshop taking place, once it is possible to confirm it.
The project members are sorry for this.
Workshop one
The first workshop took place at Foxhill House, School of Law, University of Reading on 14th September 2009 (followed by a closed meeting between staff of the partner institutions on the 15th). The workshop was extremely successful, with presentations by legal and political academics from around the world, as well as government officials and legal practitioners. There was lively discussion of a variety of issues relating to the 123 agreement.
Documents from workshop one:
Paper abstracts for workshop one

Feedback on workshop one:
"I think the organisation was outstanding. The format was very good, the panels were very well organised...it was a great experience to participate in the workshop and I think that the discussion was fruitful and contributed a lot to research in the field. I think that especially the young academics like me had a great benefit from participating - I definitely got very stimulating input for my research."
