Sure! YRM 2014 is open to all who think they will benifit from it, whether they study in the UK or abroad.

Contributed talks will be 20 minutes long, plus 5 minutes for questions and answers. Plenary and Keynote talks will be 1 hour long including time for questions and answers.
- What facilities are available in the lecture rooms?
All of our rooms have black boards, a computer and a overhead projector. Slides can be shown either using a USB stick and the available computer, or plugging in your laptop in the projector (note that for some room Mac users might need to bring their own cable). You can find here some photos and more information of the rooms.
- How can I connect to the internet?
The whole of Zeeman building has Eduroam available. So the easiest way, is to set up Eduroam at your university before you leave to come here.
- Will I be able to observe Ramadan during YRM 2014?
Yes you can! If you stay with the accommodation, there will be the option for a pre-dawn breakfast (let us know in the accommodation form). Furthermore the Islamic Society will be providing late dinner, as well as leading prayers in the prayer hall.
- Will you be providing Tea and Coffee?
Yes, while not on the schedule yet, we feel it is important for delegates to have a chance to talk to each other and spend more time asking speakers questions. To this end we plan to have two tea and coffee breaks on Tuesday and Wednesday and one tea and coffee break on Monday and Thursday.
- What about lunches and dinners?
As Warwick is a campus university, finding places to eat is rather difficult. So we have decided to provide a buffet lunch on all four days. Furthermore, on the Monday night, the Heilbronn Institute is providing a Hot Buffet after a wine reception. While on Tuesday we have a barbeque and on Wednesday our Conference Dinner.
- Where can I park my car?
You can park on campus for free in car parks 7, 8, 8a and 15. On entering the car park, take the token from the machine, which can then be validates at Conference Reception (please note that in car parks 8 and 8a there is no token machine, but you are permitted to park in this car park without needing to pay and display)
