Local information
Lectures will happen in the brand-new Chancellor's Building, room 1.12.
Lunch will be provided on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and will happen at Wessex Restaurant on campus.
The Parade Bar on campus serves food until late (including Sundays), and can show the games of the World Cup.
Here is a map of the campus and a map of the city with the relevant places and bus stops highlighted.
Conference dinner
On Thursday 26/06 at 19:30 there will be a conference dinner at Gascoyne Place (see location in the map of the city).
*** If you want to participate, you must pre-order your food by Monday 23/06. You can do that by sending an email to the organizer with your order. ***
The dinner will be a three-course meal. Here is the menu of the dinner. You need to select one choice of starter, main course and dessert.
The food (one choice of starter, main course and dessert) will be paid by the conference, but participants will have to pay for their own drinks.
Accommodation on campus
Participants staying on campus will have an en-suite room in Woodland Court.
Check-in starts at 14:00 and is done at the East Accommodation Center. If you plan to arrive after 22:00, you will have to collect your check-in package in the Library, which is open 24 hours.
Minibus from the city to the campus
A minibus has been arranged to bring speakers to campus every morning. The minibus will leave at 8:30am (sharp) from Ayrlington Hotel and will stop at the main bus stop on campus (which is very close to the Chancellor's building).
If you are not a speaker and would like to use the minibus to come to campus, that is completely fine, but please send an email to the organizer so that we can assure there will be enough seats on the bus.
Other commuting options
To commute between the city center and the university, use bus lines 18 or 18U (they are essentially identical). You can purchase the ticket directly on the bus. The buses 18 and 18U belong to different companies; if you purchase a multiple-journey ticket in one bus line, you will not be able to use this ticket in the other bus line.
You can also call a taxi on 01225 444 444.
Walking from the city center to the university is possible, but it includes a long and steep hill and takes around 45min. The other direction (from the university to the city center) is a rather pleasant and scenic walk when the weather is nice.
