The Conference Organisers at Bournemouth University and Tax Research Network (TRN) Chair [Professor Jane Frecknall-Hughes] are pleased to announce that the TRN’s 26th Annual Conference will be held on 5 and 6 September 2017 at Bournemouth University.  As in previous years, the main conference will be preceded by a Doctoral Colloquium for PhD students and post-doctoral early career researchers on 4 September, also in Bournemouth.  The TRN draws together tax scholars, practitioners and policy makers from around the world to discuss all aspects of tax research.  The Conference details are now available on the Bournemouth University website.

Venue for the Conference

The conference will take place in Bournemouth University’s Executive Business Centre (or ‘the EBC’), which is located within a short distance of Bournemouth town centre, the railway and bus stations and the beach. En-suite accommodation for Conference presenters and participants will be available at Dorchester House which is just across the street from the railway and bus stations a short distance from the Conference facilities in the EBC.

Further details about booking and accommodation are available on the Bournemouth University website.
