ABOUT

Prior to the Great Barriers in Planet Formation conference in Queensland, we will be hosting a "slow" conference, with 3-4 talks per day and plenty of time for disc-ussion and collaboration on protoplanetary discs and planet formation.

15th-19th July 2019, Monash University (Clayton Campus), Melbourne, Australia

The afternoon will be set aside for discussion and collaboration, with some hands-on tutorials on using Phantom and MCFOST for disc modelling

Registration is now open HERE for the workshop activities, and kindly requested before the last day of the workshop (July 19).

    LOCAL INFORMATION

    The conference will be held in the large lounge on the 4th Floor of New Horizons Building
    20 Research Way, Clayton Campus, Monash University
    Clayton, Victoria, Australia.

    The cheapest way to get here from Melbourne airport (Tullamarine) is to take the Skybus to Southern Cross Station, jump on a train to Huntingdale (Pakenham/Cranbourne line) and then catch the 601 shuttle bus from Huntingdale station to the campus. Once at the campus bus station, you will finally have to cross the campus from South to North to reach the New Horizons building (which has a recognizable "XBOX shape"). Total cost is around $25. Check the ptv website for details.

    The fastest way to get here from the airport is in a taxi, but it will cost you around $120 AUD.

    Our recommmended accommodation option is Mannix college. Otherwise you can check hotels close to campus. Staying somewhere in South Yarra is another option which is on the train line to Monash (30 mins to campus) but in a lively area closer to the centre of Melbourne.
