Travel

The University of Newcastle is easily accessible via train or driving from Sydney; a train leaves every hour from Central Station to Newcastle ending at Newcastle Station, from where you can catch bus number 100, 225 or 226. There are also direct flights available from Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney.

Newcastle Airport is a small domestic airport with frequent daily flights to Melbourne, Brisbane and a few other places. There is a local bus (Port Stephens Coaches) from the airport to Newcastle town centre ($4.60). A taxi from the airport to the city costs around $60.

Accommodation

There are two main areas with hotels and backpacker accommodation — Newcastle East and Honeysuckle, both in walking distance to each other, and close to train stations. Honeysuckle is a popular area with lots of restaurants with great views across the harbour.

Sponsors

This event is sponsored by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) and Priority Research Centre for Computer-Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications (CARMA). AMSI allocates a travel allowance annually to each of its member universities (for list of members, see http://amsi.org.au/membership/members/). Students or early career researchers from AMSI member universities without access to a suitable research grant or other source of funding may apply to the Head of Mathematical Sciences for subsidy of travel and accommodation out of the departmental travel allowance.
