The University of Strathclyde was founded in Scotland in 1796 (as the Royal College of Engineering), to make higher education available to all, and to combine excellence with relevance. Strathclyde is now one of the top UK universities, blending tradition with a dynamic, progressive approach to teaching and learning. The University is right at the heart of Glasgow city centre which has a vibrant arts scene, cutting-edge music, legendary nightlife, an exciting selection of places to eat out and much more.

Conference Reception: The reception will be held in the historic City Chambers of Glasgow a 2 minute walk from the University campus. The City Chambers are the headquarters of Glasgow City Council, the largest local authority in Scotland, and were completed in 1889. Located on the eastern side of the city's George Square, Queen Victoria performed the inauguration ceremony in August 1888, and the first Council meeting was held in October 1889. The entrance hall of the Chambers displays a mosaic of the city's coat of arms on the floor. The arms reflect legends about Glasgow's patron saint, Saint Mungo, and include four emblems - the bird, tree, bell, and fish. The City Chambers can be seen on the interactive map. |  |
