Annual Conference

25 years ago, the Senedd Cymru was first created as the National Assembly for Wales as part of the devolution process. The iconic red-brick Pierhead Building of 1897 in Cardiff Bay is now at the doorstep of the modern glass-fronted Senedd building and has served as the Senedd’s visitor and education centre since 2010. We are very lucky to be able to hold our Annual Conference in this setting, especially since we have such fond memories from our 2019 conference at the Senedd. We are also very grateful to Cardiff University and WISERD for hosting our Early Career Researchers Workshop at sbark|spark – Cardiff University’s state of the art Social Science Research Park.
