The workshop will be held at University College (Univ), one of Oxford’s oldest colleges. Univ traces its origins to a bequest made in 1249 by William of Durham and has a long-standing claim to be Oxford’s oldest college.
Univ is conveniently located on the High Street and is easily reached via many major bus routes. Attendees are strongly advised not to drive, as parking in central Oxford is extremely limited; please use public transport instead.
