Workshop venue
All the talks and refreshments will take place in the Frank Adams Rooms 1 and 2 on the first floor of the Alan Turing Building (the rooms are next to the Atrium Bridge, the area with the blue and green chairs in the picture below) in the Department of Mathematics, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PY, UK.
Travel to Manchester
If you are flying to Manchester Airport, you can take a local train to the city center to Manchester Piccadilly or Manchester Oxford Road stations. A tram is also possible but it is quite a bit slower. Within Manchester, there are free buses that run in the city center, and a tram that can take you to outside the city. Please see the guide for more information about traveling to and from Manchester.
The University campus, where the Alan Turing building is located, is a short walk from the city center but you can also take various buses, e.g. the magic bus numbers 142, 143 and 147 that run along the Princess Street regularly. Please see the guide from the University of Manchester website to get around the campus and maps.
What to do in Manchester?
Some recommendations include a walk near the Castlefield canal area from Deansgate and visiting The Wharf pub there, China Town has good restaurant options. You can also walk around the Northern Quarter area for small shops and restaurants. If are looking for seeing some nature, a recommendation include to take around 20-30min train to Greenfield in Saddleworth to do a hike in the beautiful hills near the Dovestone reservoir and the nearby village of Uppermill.
