We have worked hard to keep the conference affordable and hope lots of early career scientists can join. We will endeavour to support student attendance with travel grants wherever possible but will give preference to those from underrepresented countries and newly established labs.

Meeting accommodation is in ensuite student rooms (a few double rooms are available, but nearly all are single), lunch, dinner and the networking event are included in the conference price. The Hall we will use first is Rees Hall (https://www.port.ac.uk/student-life/accommodation/our-halls-of-residence/rees-hall) and accessibility details are on the website. In case people want to organise their own housing, the accommodation package is purchased separately on the online store; breakfast is part of the accommodation package. The conference runs from lunchtime to lunchtime on the 17th to the 21st August. For those needing accommodation on the 16th and/or 21st these options are also available on the online store; please note that due to the Victorious Festival starting on the 22nd anyone staying overnight on the 21st will have to leave their accommodation by 8 am.

We recommend making your housing reservation as soon as possible. A valid credit card is required to finalize your booking. If you are uncertain about your arrival/departure dates, make your best estimate—you can modify them later.

Note: The University of Portsmouth, UK is the only official housing provider for the conference. They will not contact you directly for bookings. If you choose to book elsewhere, we cannot assist with any issues. Other hotels are neither endorsed nor affiliated with the conference.
