Location & Maps
The conference will be held in the Humanities Building on the Colum Drive campus of Cardiff University. The campus is situated immediately north of Cathays Park (Cardiff’s renowned civic centre), and is within a 15 minute walk from the city centre.
Cardiff is a medium-sized, compact city (approx. 300,000 inhabitants), located on the coast of south-east Wales. It is the capital city of Wales, and home to many Welsh national institutions, including the National Assembly for Wales, the National Museum and Gallery, the Millennium Stadium (home of Welsh rugby), and the Wales Millennium Centre (home of the Welsh National Opera).
Cardiff lies on major road and rail routes from London to Ireland, and has an international airport. Day-time temperature in late July and early August is normally around 18ºC. It is usually fairly dry and sunny at that time of the year – although there is always a good chance of rain!
