A Google map of the Conference Venue, the Norcroft Conference Centre, and the Polymer IRC Laboratory is here

Venue

The conference will be held in the Norcroft Conference Centre and in the iconic Polymer IRC Laboratories at the University of Bradford - a leading University of Technology.                                                                      

The city of Bradford has important UK high technology museums, an IMAX cinema - and is the UK curry centre! Its metropolitan district includes some of the beautiful Yorkshire dales, easily reached from the city centre. Joining instructions will be issued approximately two weeks before the conference.

Exhibition

A commercial exhibition will again run in conjunction with the PPE conference, in the Polymer IRC Laboratory building (almost directly above the conference room); all refreshments and lunches will be available in the exhibition area.
