It takes about 25 minutes by taxi to arrive from London Heathrow airport, and about 50 minutes by bus. There also are frequent direct trains connecting London Gatwick airport that takes about 90 minutes. Arriving from Central London is also easy, since there are direct trains every 15 minutes from London Paddington station to Reading that can take about 25 minutes. Reading station is also connected with fast trains with other big cities of England with airport such as Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester etc. There are many accommodation options available in Reading. The usual hotel websites would help.<\/p>\n<p>Very many tourist attractions such as the Windsor Castle, Lego Land, Ascot Racecourse, the city of Oxford, Winchester, South Downs National Park, are also within half an hour commute from Reading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful links:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reading.ac.uk\/about\/visit-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit University of Reading<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/172ERln4qTGr7_1gCJKmsBxP0gaJeYUAB\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of Reading London Road Campus Map<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loddoncars.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taxi company in Reading<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greenmetrocars.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Another taxi company in Reading<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gwr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Great Western Railways<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstbus.co.uk\/railair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bus from Heathrow<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Attractions-g190741-Activities-Berkshire_England.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">things to do in Berkshire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The conference organisers<\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/jooyjeon\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joo Young Jeon<\/a> (University of Reading) and <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/subhasishmc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subhasish M.
