Conference Information

Getting There

The University is about a 20 minute walk from the train & bus stations; we encourage walking (if weather permits) to promote good health and benefit the environment. Bus Éireann routes 402/404/405 and City Direct routes 410/411/412 connect Eyre Square to the University main gate. Please note that traffic/public transit delays are likely due to the Christmas market in Eyre Square.

NOTE: If travelling to Galway, please be advised to the latest weather forecast and warnings here and allow extra time for possible disruptions.

Coffee & Lunch

Tea/Coffee and pastries will be provided at the venue during coffee breaks. Lunch will be held on-campus at An Bhialann downstairs in the Hardiman Research Building.

Event Dinner

The conference dinner will take place at Caprice restaurant at 8pm and will be fully funded by the conference. All are welcome to join us for drinks, or browsing the Christmas market before dinner. The restaurant is about a 15 minute walk from the campus. Please see the map below for more information, or contact us if you have any queries.

Sustainability Aims

We invite all attendees to take part in our initiative to minimise the carbon footprint of the conference. As such, we ask that you bring your own reusable water bottle, and reusable coffee cup for the coffee breaks. We also ask that you access the conference booklet virtually on our webpage, or using the QR codes provided on the day, and that you commit to walking/cycling or using public transport whenever possible.
