Accommodations

During the 2011 Summer Institute, conferees will be responsible for reserving their housing.   To help facilitate your plans, we will be staying in Oxford from July 26 - 30 and Cambridge from July 30 - August 3. We will provide bus transportation between the two cities on July 30th.

PLEASE NOTE: the conference doesn't end until the evening of August 3, so be sure to reserve housing for that evening. Your check out date should be August 4th or after.
