Attendance and Registration
Please register at the link below so that we have an idea of numbers for catering. We will hold a poster session for new researchers. If you would like to present a poster then please submit an abstract when you register. Notifications of acceptance will be given as soon as possible and no later than 17th May 2024.
Registration closes on Monday 13th May 2024
We hope to be able to accept all registrations. In the case of oversubscription we may have to prioritise those participants presenting posters and/or working on topics aligned with the theme of the workshop.

Location
All talks take place in Zeeman Building room MS.01 at the University of Warwick, and refreshments will be served in The Street, just outside this room. The reception and poster session will be held on the ground floor of the Mathematical Sciences Building.
Information on travelling to the university can be found here. In particular, the best train station is Coventry, to which there are direct trains from Birmingham (around 20 minutes) and London Euston (around 1 hour). The closest airport is Birmingham International, though London airports have more availability for longer flights.
