About Dundee

A warm Scottish welcome awaits you!

Dundee, the City of Discovery, is a modern and vibrant city set in a stunning location at the mouth of the River Tay on the east coast of Scotland.

Dundee is the city that brought the world aspirin, the adhesive postage stamp and the first ever radio broadcast. And now it is also home to Scotland’s first and only design museum, the V&A Dundee!

The city benefits from a central geographic location, with 90% of Scotland within 90 minutes drive. Dundee is a main station on the UK east coast line, has excellent motorway network, regional airport with direct flights from Belfast, Birmingham and London City and is also a significant cruise ship port.

With more hours of sunshine than any other Scottish city and an abundance of green spaces – Dundee provides an unrivaled quality of life.

We’re really looking forward to seeing you at the conference.

The conference is being held at the award winning Dalhousie Building, University of Dundee – situated a short walk from the city centre and close to all travel links and a wide range of accommodation.
