Travel

The John Anderson campus is about a 20 minute drive from Glasgow airport, although during the rush hour it can take considerably longer.

There is a frequent bus service (the Glasgow Shuttle) from the airport to Buchanan Street Bus Station (see campus map), from where the campus is a 10 minute walk: the bus ride is usually almost as quick as taking a taxi. A single ticket currently costs £10.50 and an open return £17 when purchased on the bus or via the First Bus app.

Both Central and Queen Street Railway Stations are within 10/15 minutes walking distance of the campus, or alternatively a short taxi journey (c. 5 minutes).

If you are arriving by car, please note that Glasgow now has a Low Emission Zone scheme. More information on the zone is available from Glasgow City Council.

Please note that under new rules, visitors to the UK may require an ATAS Certificate to conduct research. If you are a researcher on a standard visitor visa attending meetings, conferences, seminars or interviews, or giving speeches, and will not be undertaking research during your time in the UK, you do not need to apply for ATAS clearance. To check whether clearance is required, you may check the current UK Government guidance."

Accommodation

We regret that this year we are unable to provide accommodation for the conference as the University residence service has decided that it is not ready to resume letting out rooms to conference attendees and other visitors. The University is continuing to review the situation, and we hope that we will be able to offer accommodation for future conferences.

A pdf map of hotels in the environs of the campus can be found here here.

We have not authorised any third party to organise accommodation on your behalf. Please check carefully any email purporting to be from the conference organisers, as some attendees have been the target of phishing emails.

Civic reception

Tuesday night's Civic reception in Glasgow City Chambers is hosted by The Rt Hon The Lord Provost of Glasgow.
