As in previous years, UKLPAB is free for presenters and attendees. We thank Queen’s University Belfast’s School of Arts, English and Languages, and the Arts and Humanities Research Council for their kind support.

Tá UKLPAB saor in aisce do láithreoirí is don lucht freastail mar a bhí cheana. Gabhann muid ár mbuíochas le Scoil na nEalaíon, an Bhéarla is na dTeangacha, in Ollscoil na Banríona Béal Feirste, agus leis an Chomhairle um Thaighde sna hEalaíona is sna Daonnachtaí as flaithiúlacht a gcuid tacaíochta.

Travel

for those coming from elsewhere in the UK, there are frequent flights into Belfast City Airport (20-30 minutes to Queen’s; mainly BA, Aer Lingus, Flybe) and Belfast International Airport (around 45/50 minutes from Queen’s; mainly Easyjet, Ryanair). For many delegates, this should be manageable as a day-trip. For more information on flights into the City Airport, see http://www.belfastcityairport.com/ For more information on flights into the International Airport, see www.belfastairport.com.
