Programme
We are delighted to publish the draft programme for the 8th International Conference on Law Enforcement & Public Health. This is the programme for the main conference, taking place from 6-9 September. Delegates can also register for our pre-conference events on 4–5 September, which are available to book during the registration process.
As this is a draft version of the main programme, it is subject to change. Please check back for the most up to date version.
Key to session types:
“M” = major session – these are convened panels around a particular theme.
“I” = marketplace of ideas – these sessions usually consist of two or three workshop-style segments, are often practice based, and contributions will have been scheduled in these sessions together, by the conference organising team.
“P” = proffered paper sessions – these are sessions put together by the conference organising team, made up of individually submitted papers/presentations, organised around a broad overarching theme.
There will also be a limited number of posters on display, details of these will follow in due course.
Queries about the programme should be directed to the team via leph2026@leeds.ac.uk.
Poster exhibition
A selection of posters will be on display in the Refectory throughout the conference. Please take the opportunity to explore the work of fellow delegates and learn more about their projects and organisations.
