Second Geometric Models of Nuclear Matter Conference
The second conference on geometric models of nuclear matter will take place from Monday, 12/09/2016 to Thursday, 15/09/2016. The conference is supported by conference grants from the London Mathematical Society, the IoP Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Group and the IoP Nuclear Physics Group. The talks will take place in the Maths Lecture Theatre at the SMSAS at Kent on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday and Thursday, the talks will take place in Cornwallis East Seminar Room 2.
Please download the programme, the list of titles and abstracts and the conference poster.
The conference accommodation is located in Turing College (Block E), also see this map. Further information:
- Check in: between 2pm and 10pm in Turing College reception
In case of late arrival use the ‘Out of Hours’ telephone which is located outside the reception with a telephone number that dials through to Campus Security. Security will then come over and issue the bedroom key.
- Check out: by 10am, keys returned to reception
- Wi-Fi and parking permits issued at check in
- Breakfast: 7.45am to 9.30am in Hut-8
The conference dinner will take place on Wednesday, 14/09/2016 at 7 pm in Cafe Rouge. The £20 for the three course dinner menu should be paid at the registration desk, or email S.Krusch@kent.ac.uk for financial support.
