Event Description

 
 
 
 
 
This event is co-sponsored by the Institute of Materials 
 
Organiser: 
Valerie Randle 
University of Swansea 

The meeting provides a forum for EBSD users (old and new) to discuss the most recent ideas and innovations in EBSD and related techniques. Previous meetings have generated strong interactions between users from different backgrounds (physics, earth sciences and material sciences). 
The participants will have an opportunity to meet representatives from some of the leading equipment and software manufacturers in the field of EBSD and to obtain information on their products.

The registration fee includes a basic en-suite student room in Preseli Hall of Residence on the Singleton Campus at Swansea University with breakfast, conference dinner and refreshments. You have a choice of whether to stay for 1 or 2 nights.  
If you need an extra night please contact clare@rms.org.uk

Poster boards are portrait, 1m x 2m. 

Parking 
 
Parking on the University campus is restricted and used by both resident delegates and university staff. Delegates attending conferences on campus and staying overnight in University residences can park on campus. Non-residential visitors/delegates must use the off campus car parks. It may be necessary during peak periods to direct residential delegates to the off campus car parks. If this is the case then resident delegates are advised to move their cars on campus at the end of the working day.  
For residential events during the vacation periods the following applies: 
Resident delegates arriving before 2.00pm on weekdays, the earliest check-in at the Residences, can park in the main car park immediately to the east of the pay and display car park. If the barrier is down please press the intercom and state the event you are attending. Please collect a car park access card and note for display in your car from the Residences Reception when you check in. 
Resident delegates arriving after 2.00pm can drive direct to the Residences Reception on the ground floor of Preseli Residence. There they can check in to the bedrooms and collect a car park access card and display note. All vehicles must then be parked in the main car park. 
Resident delegates arriving at the weekend after 4.00pm on Friday can park in any car park on campus but if staying through to Monday vehicles must be moved to the main car park by 8.00am. 
If all spaces are full there is also the pay and display car park, which is on the immediate right hand side of the University entrance. The charges are: 
Up to 2 hours £1.00 
Up to 4 hours £2.00 
Over 4 hours £3.00 
There are two off campus car parks located about 2 minutes walk to the west of the campus (attended 9.00-17.00, charge made of £2.20 per day or £1.20 per afternoon) or 7 minutes walk to the east side (the Rec). During peak periods a small charge may be made if parking staff are in attendance.
