The United Kingdom Belize Association (UKBA) provides a focus for people who are working or interested in Belize, and aims to stimulate and to encourage activities that benefit Belize and help to raise its profile within the UK and internationally. The Association is international in its reach and membership, and offers an opportunity in the UK for sharing current research and discussion on environmental and societal issues in Belize. In conjunction with the Belize High Commission in London, this is principally channelled through annual meetings, where the results of research activities and projects covering a wide range of topics and interests are presented. We are delighted to host this year’s meeting at the University of Oxford.

If you would like to present a 15-minute paper on your research, in addition to attending the Annual Meeting in October, please also contact the organiser directly with your name and affiliation; a brief summary of your interest in Belize; the title and a 200-word abstract for your proposed presentation by 30th September, 2017.

Tea, coffee, lunch and a drinks’ reception will be provided on the day for all attendees. An informal meal will be organised for those wishing to stay in Oxford on the Saturday evening.
