THE OPENING OF SEAF 17 IN THE AUDITORIUM OF UB
|
Barcelona Universityemerged from the mediaeval cathedral schools. After many historical vicissitudes, mainly during the War of Succession (1701-1713), its seat was established in the city of Barcelona. Construction on the Historic Building started in 1863, where the formal opening of the 17th Congress of the Spanish Society of Biological Anthropology will take place. The historic building is the work of the architect, Elies Rogent. It has an eclectic style, very typical of that period, mixing different mediaeval styles such as Romanesque, Islamic, Gothic and Mudejar. Work on the building of Barcelona University lasted for more than twenty years, although in 1871 it was already sufficiently advanced to be able to deliver the first lessons at the new seat. The clock and iron clock tower situated in the tower of the Arts Patio were installed in 1881. One year later the building was practically finished and the sculptural and picturesque elements, commissioned to recognised artists of the time, were installed. The building was declared a “national historic-artistic” monument in 1970. |

NOVELTIES IN THE CONTRIBUTIONS
Oral Presentations
155 contributions and posters have already been registered. So that all of them can be presented and discussed, 10 minutes have been foreseen for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion. These times will be strictly respected. There will be a projector for the PowerPoint program, a laser pointer and an overhead projector. Presentations with slides will not be accepted.
Posters
The size of the posters will be: 157 cm (high) x 115 cm (wide). The organisation will provide the material required to secure the posters to the frames. The posters will be on display from noon on Thursday, 2 June, at the congress venue. They will be presented and discussed on Friday, 3 June, from 15.00 to 17.00 h, so the authors will have to be present, before their respective posters, at that time.
The first signatory, at least, must be registered at the congress.
The same author may not present more than one contribution as a first signatory. .
Publication of Contributions
The guest papers and the scientific contributions will ONLY be published on electronic format, so anyone who prefers to print out their own contributions on paper can do so, as the layout will be the ordinary layout of a printed book. At the suggestion of the SEAF Management Board, in order to give the authors time, the latest date to present the originals has been extended until 30 SEPTEMBER 2011.
Publication Rules
The contributions and posters for publication shall not exceed 5 (five) pages (including tables and figures, margin: 2.5 cm upper and lower, 3 cm. right and left), using Times New Roman 11 cpi font and following the rules of the Spanish Journal of Physical Anthropology www3.unileon.es/seaf/reaf/authors.htm. The works will be sent by email to: seaf17@ub.edu or to seaf17@gmail.com.
As there will be no printed paper version –although the electronic version will be prepared for printing-, the Organising Committee has finally decided to establish the following limits for oral contributions and posters.
Oral contributions: they will not exceed 12 pages, all inclusive.
Posters: they will not exceed 5 pages, all inclusive.
INTRANET
Consult the abstracts registered on the SEAF17 Intranet. They are divided into thematic sections. The detailed timetable for presenting the oral contributions will be published on the Intranet in due time.
The scientific sessions of the posters will take place on Friday, 3 June, from 15.00 to 17.00 h.
Apart from access to the abstracts presented and other information, on the SEAF17 Intranet there will be a forum for questions and to solve doubts. If you do not remember your password, consult at : seaf17@ub.edu or at seaf17@gmail.com.
ARCHITECTONIC BARCELONA
The Parque Güell is a large garden with architectonic elements situated in the north of the city of Barcelona. In the centre of the park there is an enormous oval-shaped square, 3,000 square metres, constructed between 1907 and 1913. Its edge serves as a bench and it undulates like a 110-metre long snake. It is covered with tiny pieces of ceramic and glass. According to the original drawing, the main square should have been a Greek theatre, suitable for community meetings and to hold events.
