Practical information for speakers
Format:
The format of the seminars is a one-hour seminar (to include ~10 minutes of questions during/at the end of the talk), preceded by a separate 20-minute introduction/review attended by PhD students only. The audience is a broad hep-th audience, so please also include a generous introduction in your main talk.
Travel: General Travel Information to Highfield Campus
Arrival by train/plane:
By train, the campus and nearby hotels are best reached by taking a train to Southampton Airport Parkway station. To get from the airport or Parkway station to the Highfield Campus, Maths building (Building 54), please either take a taxi or the 'Unilink' bus (U1C goes to the campus, U1A goes back to the airport/Parkway station).
If taking the bus, some more detailed instructions: Coming from the London direction and arriving at Parkway station, stay on the same side of the tracks and exit the train station near the front of the train. The bus stop will be on your right, just beyond the South end of the station. Take the U1C bus which will take you to the middle of campus just above Building 6 (see campus map below), then make your way to Building 54 (Maths). The buses accept contactless card payments -- tap on and tap off with your card.
