Speakers
Please check the programme and advise Alex Baker if you need to change your talk (time, title etc). Please check the time allocated for your talk. Before the meeting, please upload your slides to this google drive.
Work Package leads
Similar to last year’s GA, there will be short slots for WP overviews and updates, which I’ve allocated to the WP leads who presented these last time (Juliane, John Methven, Hayley), so please let me know if I should change this.
Catering & dinner
For all three days, lunch and tea/coffee breaks will be provided. This year’s project dinner will be on Wednesday evening (19:00) at Blackfriars Restaurant.
Directions
The Stephenson Building is a 25-minute walk from Newcastle Central Station. Alternatively, you can take the metro from the station (stand M, yellow or green line towards Newcastle Airport) to Haymarket, 2 stops away, to shorten the walk.
