Registration:

Pre-registration is required in order to gain access to the venue. Please bring photo ID (eg student or staff university ID card, driver's licence) in order to clear security and note that attendees will be asked to step through a metal detector and all bags and coats will be scanned.

Please use the registration here and note that registration will close at 17:00 on Wednesday 18 April 2018.

If you are travelling from Warwick, please indicate in the last free text section of the registration form if coach transport from/to Warwick is required. The coach will depart from the bus stop opposite Humanities building on University Road at 07:20 and leave London at 19:00 from London Bridge Street Bus Stands.

The event will be held off-campus so MRC are unable to make any accommodation arrangements for participants and funds are not available to assist with any accommodation expenses. In the 'other' section please also indicate your association with the Centre for Complexity Science.
