UCD Facilities
UCD campus is a public space so feel free to explore the campus, in fact we encourage it!
We understand conferences can be busy environments and you may need to step away from the conference for quiet time. UCD campus is home to the wonderful woodland walks, a chance to get out into nature in this urban environment. The trail has many entry and exit points allowing flexible walking times. We will be based in the O’Brien Centre for Science, with plenty of common areas to sit and relax, when a break is required.
