Registration:

There is no registration fee for this workshop, but we would be very grateful if you could register your interest in attending by filling out this short registration form.

Getting to campus:

Lancaster University is very easy to get to by car. Follow the M6 to Junction 33 and after exiting follow the A6 Northbound for two miles. 

If arriving by train, there are many bus services between Lancaster city center and campus. For example the Number 4 bus service can be caught directly outside of the train station and takes around 20 mins to get to campus. Other options from the center include the Number 1/1A/100 bus services. All services will be operating regularly at the time of the workshop.

A campus map can be found here.

Organisers:

• Dan Fretwell

• Kieran Calvert

Support:

We are very grateful for financial support from both the LMS, via their New Appointments grant, and from Lancaster University.

Unfortunately, due to limited funds we will only be able to provide accommodation/travel funding for speakers.
