VENUE: Getting to Nanotoxicology 2010

REACHING NANOTOXICOLOGY 2010

Nanotoxicology 2010 will be held in the historic city of Edinburgh, Scotland.

The conference itself will be held at Edinburgh Napier University’s Craiglockhart Campus. Located within a leafy suburb of the South West of Edinburgh, Craiglockhart was recently reopened after extensive refurbishment and now boasts stunning architecture and state-of-the-art facilities.

By Air:

International and domestic flights are available to Edinburgh (Turnhouse) Airport. The Airport is only 12 kilometres (8 miles) from the city centre and has very good connections to the city via taxi, express coach and shuttle bus. Discounted fares for conference delegates have been arranged for the shuttle bus service – click here to take advantage of these preferential rates.

 

By Rail:

Edinburgh is well served by both local rail services and major national lines. It’s main train station, Edinburgh Waverley, is situated a short distance from the majority of accommodation selected for the conference, and 4 miles from the conference venue at Craiglockhart.
