2nd Announcement
The 4th Birmingham Extragalactic Workshop
"The Role of Feedback in Galaxy Evolution"
Date: June 11-12th 2001
Plans for the workshop are moving on, and a preliminary talk schedule
for the meeting is appended below.
A webpage with details of the workshop has been set up at
http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk/workshop/
Practical Details : Travel to Birmingham
It is very convenient to travel to the University by train. Birmingham
University has its own station called "University", which is an 8 min
ride from Birmingham New Street station, with local trains from New
Street running every 15mins.
From the University station walk towards the centre of the campus, aim
in the general direction of the clock tower, which is in Chancellors
Court. The meeting will be held in the Small Lecture Theatre in the
Poynting Physics Building. The most convenient entrance is in the
adjacent Physics-West building, which is a red brick building on the
other side of Chancellors court from the station. The Small Lecture
Theatre is on the top floor of the Poynting Building.
Some car parking spaces will also be available, please let us know if
you plan to travel by car.
General directions to getting to the University can be found at:
http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk/general/directions.html
Maps of the campus and surrounding area are shown on the University
webpage (http://www.bham.ac.uk/general/intro/visit.htm
).
Registration
The registration area will be next to the Small Lecture Theatre (and
is where coffee and tea will be served). Payment of
the registration fee of 30 pounds can be made on arrival (by cash
or cheque, with cheques payable to the `University of Birmingham').
I'm afraid we can't cope with credit cards, Some
reduction for those attending for only one day will be made.
Projection Facilities
We will have the usual overhead projector and facilities for projecting
Powerpoint presentations. As ever with Powerpoint you probably should
have a back-up in the event of an incompatibility between our system and
yours.
Meals
The two lunches will be held in the Staff House cafeteria, and the
evening meal on Monday will be at a Balti restaurant in Selly Oak
(vegetarian options will be available). The costs of these meals is
included in the registration fee (including one drink at the evening
meal).
Overnight Arrangements for Monday 11th June:
This is your responsibility, but we will assist if needs be.
A listing of local hotels is given on the workshop webpage.
http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk/workshop/hotels.html The prices
are from last year, but still should be a reasonable guide. All
of these hotels are within walking distance of the University.
From phone conversations both Copperfield House and the Bristol Court
Hotel have a number of rooms available. If you have any problems
booking a room could you please contact Tina Campbell (
c.n.campbell@bham.ac.uk) who will assist.
Schedule for the Workshop
This program is still preliminary. We may still add a couple of extra
talks, but as it stands we have left a reasonable amount of time in each
session for discussion, as well as a 30 minute general discussion
session at the end of each day. However, speakers should still aim to
finish a couple of minutes inside their time allocations If you
spot any problems with this schedule please let me know.
