Getting to the University of Warwick
It is worth pointing out to people who are visiting for the first time that the University is not in Warwick town - it is on the outskirts of Coventry, and Coventry is the nearest mainline train station. Here are campus maps and other information.

The workshop venue is IAS (Institute for Advanced Studies), Millburn House, between Millburn Road and Kirby Corner Road, just next to Warwick's main campus - further information and directions here.

There are frequent buses to campus from Coventry city centre, Coventry train station and Leamington Spa, and taxis take about 20 minutes (£12) from Coventry train station.

We can arrange visitor parking at the workshop venue for speakers and chairs; it is limited and needs to be arranged in advance, so please indicate on your registration form if you need parking.

There is also parking for permit holders at the venue, and pay-and-display parking nearby, off Kirby Corner Road. car parking information and map
