Volunteering Research: Frontiers and Horizons
Birmingham, United Kingdom
To mark the end of the UK Year of the Volunteer 2005, the Institute for Volunteering Research will be hosting a two-day seminar to review the latest developments in volunteering research. The seminar will provide a stimulating environment in which to consider new directions in volunteering research.

It will bring together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to:

• Present new research findings;
• Discuss how new findings impact on the way we conceptualise volunteering;
• Examine how different approaches to research can maximise impact on policy and practice;
• Explore how volunteering learns from research across different disciplines and fields of study;
• Place volunteering research in an historic perspective.
