Rosetta Science meeting and SWT #45 meeting

6-10 June 2016

Introduction

The meeting will be held in two locations over the week - the first half in Open University, where the focus is on the most recent science topics of the mission. For the latter part of the week, the Science Working Team meeting #45 will be held at the University of Greenwich, to discuss the final operational aspects of the mission and look forward to post-operations and archiving.

Registration

Please use the registration tool in the menu on the top left. Registration opens 18 March and closes on 13 May extended to 20 May!!!!

In the registration, please indicate what part of the week you will attend and also whether you would like to take advantage of transport from Milton Keynes to London on Wednesday.

Abstract submission, if necessary, will be availible at a TBD date, depending on how the Science workshop will be set up.

Logistics 

The meeting will be split between Milton Keynes and London.

Science Workshop 6-8 June 2016 at Open University

The Science Workshop will be held at Open University. Directions to get to Open University are here:

Milton Keynes is well served by various transport links, being on the M1 motorway and the main west coast train line (linking Birmingham and London). Connections from Milton Keynes to London are straightforward, with the fastest trains taking approximately 40 minutes to London Euston. The nearest airports are London Luton (main EasyJet hub, along with other low-cost airlines) and Birmingham. Luton is closer (about half an hour by car) but Birmingham is easier by public transport (direct trains from airport to Milton Keynes). Reasonable connections via coach or train exist from the other London airports (Heathrow, City or Gatwick), with long distance coach services mostly stopping at 'Milton Keynes Coachway', near the junction with the M1. Bus information within Milton Keynes can be found here: https://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/streets-transport-and-parking/bus-travel/bus-timetables-and-information . Taxis in Milton Keynes are reasonably cheap when booked in advance (typically £7-8 between the station and the Open University campus, and around £30 from Luton Airport - e.g. http://skylinetaxis.co.uk/ ).

Rosetta SWT #45 

The Rosetta SWT # 45 meeting will be held at the University of Greenwich Maritime Greenwich Campus, located in the Old Royal Naval College in London. 

We will be in the King William building, room 315. In the map below, it is building number 4.
