Original conference announcement
The Nordic Forum for Consumer Research is a committee set down by the Nordic Committee of Senior Officials for Consumer Affairs to foster consumer research of relevance to consumer policy and to broaden the interaction between consumer researchers and policy-makers in government, agencies, and organizations. We now have the pleasure to inform you that thanks to the support from the Nordic Council of Ministers, a consumer policy research conference, entitled Towards a New Consumer? Towards a New Consumer Policy? will take place in Helsinki on October 3-5, 2007.
The programme and schedule of the conference are outlined on this website. Note the deadline of March 1, 2007, for the submission of abstracts.
We sincerely hope that you will participate in and contribute to the conference by a presentation of your research. We also very much welcome suggestions of relevant topics for special sessions at the conference, and not least of issues suited for round-table discussions between policy-makers and researchers.
There will be further announcements concerning the conference, but we hope that you and your colleagues will already mark these dates in your calendar.
Sincerely,
Folke Ölander
Chairman, Programme Committee
