Further information on the conference is available online at http://www.iadb.org/ethics.

Authors of selected papers will have the opportunity to present them at one of the workshops during the conference. Presenters will be given 15 minutes for their presentations.

Selected authors will be given advance notice and have the chance to accept or refuse participation. Final papers will be distributed through the website of the Inter-American Initiative on Social Capital, Ethics and Development.

Proposals should be sent via electronic mail to voluntariad@iadb.org in MS Word or PDF format and accompanied by the curriculum vitae of the author(s). The deadline for submission of proposals is February 16, 2004.
