Region Stavanger´s Ambassador Prize 2018 received for organizing NASS XI

On Thursday March 21st I attended the "ambassador reception" of Region Stavanger, enjoyed a 2-course meal, and received Region Stavanger´s "Ambassador Prize for 2018" for organizing the 11th conference of the Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies (held in June 2019). About a dozen people received such prizes this evening.

The prize consists of a diploma and a statue of sorts. 

Meeting with Region Stavanger

Today, with the Office manager at Department of social studies, I attended a meeting with two representatives from Region Stavanger, discussing opportunities for future international conferences held at the University of Stavanger. In 2015, Region Stavanger provided advice and overview when I was main responsible for organising the conference "Animals in the Anthropocene".

Monday this week I met with a representative of Region Stavanger, a tourist and convention agency, to discuss possible solutions/options for the September 17-19 conference Animals in the Anthropocene (and, vaguely, other conferences, including prospective ones).
