The event will also provide the opportunity to present the 2016 Young Scholar with their award of £250 worth of Cambridge University Press titles of their choice. This year the prize is awarded to Daniel Costelloe for his article 'Treaty Succession in Annexed Territory' published in Volume 65 Part 2.
