Student Get-Together
Welcome Reception, Assembly Rooms

This is a chance to get to know your fellow future-researchers! Join us for a Student Get-Together during the Welcome Reception on Tuesday, the 12th of July, at around 8 PM. We will meet in the Music Room at the Assembly Rooms where the Opening Ceremony will take place  – have a look for signs indicating the exact spot. There will be a short quiz to get to know each other a bit and afterwards there is time to chat and exchange. We are looking forward to meeting you there!
