Meeting Location	Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 10 Burlington Road, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Meeting Dates	Thursday 25 and Friday 26 May, 2017
Aim	The meeting aims to bring together researchers from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, with international colleagues, to stimulate new collaborations and build up existing collaborations.
Registration	Registration is now closed; see below.
Support	For participants from NI and ROI we can provide support for travel and accommodation (but not food), to be divided out equally between all who request funding. The amount available depends on number of applicants, but it probably won't cover hotel plus travel completely, given current Dublin prices. We also have some funding for invited international participants.
SOC	Morgan Fraser, Jose Groh, Rubina Kotak, Jonathan Mackey, John Regan, Jorick Vink

Travel

Dublin airport has good links to most cities in Europe through Ryanair, Aer Lingus, and other airlines. The Aircoach and Dublin Bus have connections from the airport to Leeson St. Bridge and Baggot St. Bridge, both very close to Burlington Road.
Dublin is also well-served by public transport from most towns in Ireland, north and south.

The meeting will take place at 10 Burlington Road, Dublin 4, D04 C932. It is south of Dublin city centre, located within walking distance.
Bus: Use the Dublin Bus route-planner and search the route to Stop 780 (Waterloo Road, Junction Burlington Road).

Accommodation

Dublin hotels and guesthouses are very expensive at the moment because of lack of supply. The best option is to look online at e.g. trivago.ie or a hotel/hostel booking website, e.g. booking.com or hostelworld.com.

For example try this search on trivago for places within 1.5km of Burlington Road on Thursday night.

• Nearby hotels and guesthouses: Mespil hotel, Leeson Bridge guest house, Abbeyleigh House, Waterloo House, Lansdowne Hotel.
• Well-known nearby hotels are the Burlington hotel and the Herbert Park hotel.
• A bit further away is e.g. the Ardagh House, a nice guest house that is not too expensive.

When your registration is confirmed we will also send you a list of hotels and guesthouses that are often used by visitors to DIAS, some of which may have special rates for DIAS visitors.
