The goal of this workshop is to present current and planned research activities in the fields of numerical analysis for finite element and boundary element methods. Scientists from different universities and other research institutions are invited to present their research problems and discuss their results. Apart from strengthening already well established contacts this workshop should also provide an opportunity to start new collaborations.
The symposium will be held in the CARMA room, V205 in the Mathematics Building, at the University of Newcastle. A map of the campus is available here, click on "V Mathematics" in the list below the map to highlight its position.

For information and trip planning, please visit
You should take the T2 Airport Line from Domestic/International Airport Station to Central Station and then the Central Coast & Newcastle Line Hamilton Station. From Hamilton Station you must transfer to a bus into the city.
Alternatively, there is the Happy Cabby Airport Shuttle Service which you will need to book in advance.
For those arriving at the Newcastle Airport we recommend taking a taxi to Newcastle. The taxi rank is adjacent to the arrivals area of the terminal. Newcastle Taxis can be contacted directly, free-of-charge, on the dedicated taxi phone located in the arrivals end of the terminal.
Alternatively, you can catch the 130 or 131 bus from the Newcastle Airport to the Newcastle Station. From Newcastle Station it is an easy walk to the recommended hotels. For more information and/or to plan your exact trip times see the CityRail website or the Port Stephens Coaches timetables.
Newcastle Taxis: bookings can be made online or by calling 133 300 within Australia.
