Price of EuroPLoP

We've had a question about the cost of EuroPLoP 2009. The simple answer is: we don't have a budget yet so we don't have a price.

Last year the three and half days of conference, including accommodation, food and as much beer and wine (or soft drinks) you wanted was €950 - provided you booked in time to get the early-bird rate, otherwise it was €100 more.

We will certainly be aiming to have this years conference around the the same price but it will be a few weeks before we will have all the information we need to set the budget.

Right, if you'll excuse me I have to get back to my own paper....

For the moment the important thing is the call for papers (CfP) is online here - I will be sending the CfP out to various mailing lists soon.

EuroPLoP 2009: July 8-12

We've not had time to update the website yet but we've started work on EuroPLoP 2009. It will be (as always) at Kloster Iresee in Germany and will start on the afternoon of Wednesday 8 July and end in the small hours of Sunday 12 July.

Actually, the formal end if late on the Saturday but almost everyone stays on to drink and talk late into the night. On the Sunday morning we hold a final breakfast and there are a couple of admin meetings.

Submission date is yet to be decided but it will be before the end of February 2009 so get writing!

Pictures from EuroPLoP 2008

I've posted some pictures from EuroPLoP 2008 on Flickr - actually I posted them a week or more ago but forgot to link from this blog until just now.

Out of interest I did a Flickr search for other peoples EuroPLoP pictures and found quite a few.

Gregor has a good selection from this year.
Rui Lopes has lots of EuroPLoP 2006.
Keith Braithwaite has some nice ones of Kloster Irsee at EuroPLoP 2005.

Comments on EuroPLoP at

Yishay Mor has some nice things to say about EuroPLoP on another blog.

Its nice to see these comments from a EuroPLoP first timer - reminds me of my own feeling the first time I went to EuroPLoP.
