Third project meeting
Dates
The third meeting will take place on 10-11 December, 2004.
Location
The meeting will be held in the Informatics seminar Room on Level 6 of the E.C Stoner Building at the University of Leeds.
Travel
When you plan your journey, bare in mind that there is an airport in Leeds and some small flying companies have convenient flights (e.g. jet2 flies has regular flights Prague-Leeds and Malaga-Leeds). Also, KLM, BA, and British Midlands fly to Leeds. Another convenient airport is Manchester (add 1-2 hours by train to get to Leeds).
Hotels
The hotel most visiting dignitaries use is Weetwood hall. It's a top hotel, not too expensive, and there is a good restaurant/bar and an adjoining traditional English Pub. It is on the same road as the university, about 2KM out from the university, away from the city centre. There are very regular buses from the hotel to the university (public buses)
