Henry J. Leir Conferences
LLP-CU Conferences
The LLP-CU offers Clark faculty the opportunity to run conferences or workshops in Luxembourg. In order to enhance relations between Clark and Luxembourg, Clark faculty members frequently pair up with contact persons from Luxembourg’s academic and professional worlds. Usually, conferences or workshops run from three to four days and involve scholars and professionals from around the world. Frequently, publications emerge from these meetings, as ties among colleagues are deepened.
From 2005 to 2007 alone, nine conferences/workshops brought 129 scholars to Luxembourg, scholars who came from Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, England, Egypt, France, Germany, Guiana in the West Indies, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and the USA.
