Venue
University
of Glasgow
The Conference takes place at the historic Gilmorehill Campus of the
University of Glasgow. The University is the fourth oldest University
in the UK today and dates from 1451.
The
plenary sessions take place in the Hunter Halls, which adjoin the
University's Hunterian Museum and Gallery and delegates are free to
explore these during the lunch break.
The
afternoon workshops are held in the same building and in the nearby
Boyd Orr building. Both buildings are accessible to wheelchair users
and special arrangements will be made to benefit those with sensory impairments.
