The McWhirter Foundation Conferences 2016

Following 40 years of successful sixth form conferences at Oxford University, the McWhirter Foundation will be holding two conferences in 2016; the traditional Dicey Conference at Trinity College, Oxford, and for the first time, The Rosalind Franklin Conference, at Newnham College, Cambridge.  Whilst both events will continue to focus on the balance of the rights and responsibilities of the individual and the state, the Rosalind Franklin Conference will explore the subject from a more 'science and technology' based approach. The residential conferences are open to sixth form students, by invitation, and take place annually in the Spring.
