Accommodation and meals
Participants will be accommodated on site at Christ's College, and breakfast and lunch will be provided Wednesday-Friday. Additionally, one conference dinner for the participants will be held in the College Hall on Thursday evening, where we look forward to seeing you. On the other evenings (Tuesday and Wednesday) we encourage participants to make their own arrangements for dinner - the organisers are happy to recommend restaurants nearby.
If you have any dietary restrictions, please contact the organisers at your earliest convenience.
