Conference venue
Encounters is being hosted by the University of Sussex. All plenary sessions and most breakout sessions will be held at the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (ACCA). The ACCA building is close to the main entrance to the campus, and just a short walk from Falmer train station (map).
Getting to Sussex
The University of Sussex is located in Falmer, near Brighton. Details on how to travel to the University can be found here: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/about/directions.
We encourage you to use public transport wherever possible but have a limited number of parking permits available. If you require a permit, please email enquiries@chase.ac.uk.
Accommodation
If you have requested accommodation, you will receive a separate email with details.
If you have not secured accommodation with us, please see this list of accommodation options near to the university: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/about/directions/wheretostay. As a CHASE funded student, you can claim back the cost of your accommodation in the normal way.
Please bring…
In an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the conference, we will not be providing tote bags, notebooks or pens. Please, therefore, ensure you bring your own bag and writing materials.
Crockery will be available for tea and coffee but you are also encouraged to bring a ‘keep cup’ for hot drinks. Water stands will be available with glasses and you are encouraged to also bring a reusable water bottle.

PhrienDs
Many thanks to those who have signed up to be part of our Encounters PhrienDs programme. We are in the process of matching PhrienDs up and will be sending emails out to put you in touch with each other soon.
Photography
As normal, we will have a photographer and film crew recording the conference. The film crew will be based primarily in the auditorium. Please notify a member of staff at any point during the conference if you prefer not to be filmed or photographed. We will work to ensure this does not happen.
Don’t forget, Encounters is a good opportunity to get a professional profile photo for your CHASE profile (and anything else you need a profile photo for). Feel free to speak with our photographer, Carlotta, at any point during the conference to have a photo taken.
