Frequently ASKED QUESTIONS

Logistics

How do I get to Oxford?

We recommend where-ever you are travelling from that you take public transport. The centre of Oxford has a Zero Emission Zone (ZEZ) and parking is limited.

Where is the conference taking place?

All of the conference sessions are taking place at Examination Schools, 75 – 81 High St, Oxford OX1 4BG

Is there parking nearby?

The nearest car park is at the Westgate Shopping Centre. Oxford also operates a Park and Ride service, which is more cost effective, with regular buses running to the centre from four car parks around the city.

Where should I stay?

We would recommend you stay in Oxford itself, there are a lot of accommodation options, but they do get busy in the summer, so book soon to avoid disappointment.

Is lunch included in my registration fee?

Yes, lunch is included in your registration fee, together with tea and coffee on arrival, mid-morning and mid-afternoon tea and coffee with a light snack.

And what about dinner?

There are lots of cafes and restaurants throughout the city to suit all tastes and those of you attending the Women in Fusion dinner and the Gala dinner will, of course, eat there.

Short courses

I’m booked on a short course, what can I expect?

Full details and time-tables, for the short course can be found here. Please bring a lap top to the course and, if appropriate, an adapter for the mains electricity. We use a three-pin plug in the UK.
