Practical Information

Train information can be obtained here.
The 08:32 train from York calls at Durham at 09:19 and arrives in Edinburgh Waverley at 11:06.

For directions to the JCMB click here . We will meet in the Common Room (5212) of the School of Mathematics, on the fifth floor of the JCMB. The talks will take place in room 5327.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided free of charge. There will be a sandwich lunch for which participants might be charged (depending on funding).

Limited funds are available to help with travel expenses of participants with no other source of funding. We hope that this will encourage postgraduate students and postdocs to attend the meeting. Please email José Figueroa-O'Farrill in advance if you would like to apply for support and please book early to take advantage of the cheaper fares.

Postscript

The meeting took place as planned. We would like to thank the speakers and the participants for making it a success.
