Programme
With the exception of the conference dinner, all events will be in the Herschel Building, the home of the Newcastle University School of Mathematics & Statistics. Please see the Travel page for links with information on finding this building. The talks will be in Lecture Theatre 2 (LT2), on the Ground Floor. Registration, tea/coffee and posters will be in the Ground Floor Foyer, just outside LT2. Lunches, and the Wednesday evening reception, will be in the 'Penthouse' (on Level 7).
The conference dinner (and pre-dinner drinks) will be in the Vermont Hotel Ballroom, in Newcastle City Centre.
Wednesday August 27
There will be an informal reception from 17:30 to 19:30 on the Wednesday evening, in the Penthouse of the Herschel Building, for those who arrive early. Please let us know if you plan to attend this event.
