MPEC Postponement & MPEC Book Call

02/02/2021 - 09:00 - Further Conference & Book Postponement

After careful consideration, the MPEC organising team have decided that we'd love for this conference to be held as a physical event if at all possible. As such we've decided to postpone until Summer 2022. Additionally we wish to re-align the book to the conference and will wait for abstracts for both when we release the call for contributions to these in late 2021, pandemic permitting.

06/03/2020 - 17:07 - Conference Postponement

Sylvia Massy's manager, Chris Johnson, has contacted us about earlier cancellations on the European trip MPEC was part of due to Covid-19. Given this, they've decided to postpone their trip. Leeds Beckett University and the MPEC committee have, in kind, decided to postpone the conference until May or June 2021. Please accept our apologies for this.
