Schedule
Thursday, 14th of August
Registration will commence at Barker House Farm (BHF) on the Lancaster University campus (BHF, BHF, Lancaster University campus - MazeMap) from 3 PM. During registration, accommodation keys for those staying on campus can be collected at the same location. The accommodation block is conveniently situated adjacent to Barker House Farm.
The reception will begin at 5:30 PM, at which time the bar will open. Every registered delegate will receive two tickets for complimentary beverages, with additional drinks available for purchase at the bar. A buffet-style meal will be served shortly after 6 PM.
Guests arriving a day early, on Wednesday, must collect their keys between 9 AM and 5 PM from the Guest Services Office (A013, Bowland Main, Lancaster University campus - MazeMap), or from the Security Lodge (Security Lodge, Security Lodge, Lancaster University campus - MazeMap) outside these hours. The same procedure applies to those collecting their keys after the registration/reception.
From the 15th of August to the 18th of August, the George Fox Building on the Lancaster University campus (George Fox Building, George Fox, Lancaster University campus - MazeMap) will host the scientific portion of the conference. All presentations are scheduled to take place in Lecture Theatre 1. The poster session will run for two consecutive days, providing ample time for discussions and networking.
Boxed lunches will be available in the foyer of the building, with the exception of Sunday, when the programme concludes earlier to allow participants the opportunity to explore the Lancaster area.
