This article presents information on congresses and conventions organized by "British Association for the Advancement of Science." The 1970 meeting is to be held in Durham from 2nd September to 9th September. Part of the program of Section N has been reserved for the presentation of a limited number of papers announcing the findings of recent investigations. The object of the fellowships is to enable social scientists to encounter new ideas and to learn new techniques by spending some time at another university or research institute in this country or abroad. A particular hope is that the scheme will encourage visits between Great Britain and other European countries. The awards will be for a minimum of three months and a maximum of twelve, and may be spread over more than one visit to the same institution. They will normally consist of a grant for travel and maintenance for the fellow himself only, but the Foundation may take account of individuals' particular needs in determining the amount to be awarded. The fellowships are open to social scientists on the staff of universities and research institutes in Great Britain who have already had experience of research. The subjects covered by the scheme include economics, political science, social administration, social anthropology, social psychology and sociology.
