THE CONFERENCE VENUE
The conference will be held in the Examination Schools in Oxford
The Oxford University Examinations Schools are located on the High Street at the heart of the beautiful and historic city of dreaming spires, within close proximity of all the College and hotel accommodation.
The building is commonly known as 'Schools' by the thousands of undergraduates who have passed through Oxford. Built between 1876 and 1881, it is reputed to rest on the site of the first Inn in England - The Angel Inn - and brought the Schools’ architect, Sir Thomas Jackson, to prominence.
Paintings bequeathed by the University lining the walls of the School add an element of historical grandeur to the impressive interior. Some of the paintings on display depict the Schools’ use as a hospital during WWII, and, in the basement you can still see signs leading to ‘The Resuscitation Room’.
Behind the heavy entrance doors lie architectural and artistic wonders as far as the eye can see. But by far the most impressive feature of the building is the trio of expansive meeting rooms that crowns the sweeping marble staircase leading to the first floor. The space provides state-of-the-art facilities, ample capacity for posters and trade exhibiitons, and excellent catering - all meals are included in the registration fee.
