Below you can find information regarding local arrangements for each APTS week, including contact details, provisional timetables and travel advice. You will be notified by email when important new information appears here relating to an APTS week for which you are registered.

Please note: if you have a query regarding any local arrangements for a given week, you should contact the local organisers (whose details will be listed below nearer the time of the respective APTS week), and not APTS itself.

Week 4: University of Glasgow (3rd September 2012 - 7th September 2012)

• Local organiser: Adrian Bowman - adrian dot bowman at glasgow dot ac dot uk

If you choose to do this: (1) it is with your own institution that you must make arrangements to pay for the accommodation, APTS plays no part in this and (2) we are unfortunately not able to provide accommodation and you must make your own arrangement (A hotel which they regularly make use of has been suggested by the local organisers).
• Accommodation: Will be in The University of Strathclyde Campus village in ensuite bedrooms (this has been checked).
