Forthcoming Visitors

Information will be collected at regular intervals from ASCS University Representatives, so that these entries on the website can be kept up-to-date. It will be collected so that members of departments, particularly in regional universities, can be made aware of who is visiting and can perhaps try to get such visitors to come to their universities, if arrangements can be made. Small departments can also apply for an ASCS grant to assist with subsidising the cost of getting the visitors to their campuses.
