University of Bath
April 11th - 14th 2022

Organisers: Cécile Mailler and Denis Villemonais

Covid permitting, the workshop will be held at the University of Bath in the Wolfson lecture theatre (room 4W 1.7). Talks will start on the Monday 9am and end on the Thursday 1pm.

Access to the Wolfson lecture theatre (room 4W 1.7): From the main bus stop at the university, follow the flow of students up the stairs and walk along the "parade". You will see the University Library on your right, a flight of stairs to a lake on your left: continue straight ahead. The 4W building will be on your left, with automatic sliding doors: enter through these doors: on your right is the entrance to the 4W café, on your left, the entrance to the student services. Walk straight ahead to the stairs and walk down the stairs. Once downstairs, turn left, walk past the lifts and straight to the door of the Wolfson.
