Where

Lecture Halls

• Talks: All talks will use four main lecture theaters (LT26, LT27, LT28, and LT29) in the Science Campus at NUS (27 Science Drive 1, Singapore 117541). Lecture halls projectors can show slides from a Windows computer at the podium or a speaker’s notebook via an HDMI connection. Lecture halls have camera systems that can be used with Zoom for remote presenters.
• Posters: The posters will be displayed in the foyer directly outside these lecture theaters, which is a short distance from an eating area with coffee and tea stalls.

• The nearest subway station from the venue is Kent Ridge MRT.
• Wifi is available on campus using eduroam. Log in using your username as advised by your home institution, typically in the form of “username@domainname” (e.g. john@ox.ac.uk). Additionally, we plan to offer conference-specific wifi access (to be announced). Your device should support IEEE 802.11 a/g/n standards and configured with WPA2-Enterprise authentication and AES data encryption. The legacy WPA/TKIP configuration is not supported.

Food

• The lecture theaters are located a short distance from the NUS Science Canteen, which offers lots of options for lunch.
• Since the NUS Science Canteen is closed on weekends, the conference will provide lunches on Saturday and Sunday to registered attendees. Additionally, the conference will provide breakfast on all three days and dinner on the third day.
• The Conference Dinner will be held in the RC4 Dining Hall
• The University Town, where some conference participants will be residing, has food courts that provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, these services will be closed on 16 December for a scheduled power outage, so on that day conference participants should seek dinner elsewhere (e.g. Kent Ridge MRT, West Coast Plaza, the shops at the end of Clementi Road, Clementi Mall, etc.)
• Singapore is famous for its foodie culture. Attendees are encouraged to explore the various food offerings, such as the MICHELIN Guide hawker stalls or the nightlife at Clarke Quay.

Housing

• The campus dormitories are located at University Town, National University of Singapore. University Town features food outlets and residential units. Travel between University Town and the Science Campus can be done by foot or by taking the D2 Buses.
• Residential services in UTown are generally less expensive than hotels, and includes both single rooms and shared apartments that can accommodate up to six guests. Guests who opt for off-campus hotel accommodation can reach UTown via public buses, taxis, or by way of two MRT stations (Kent Ridge MRT and Dover MRT).
