Location
Lectures and practical sessions will take place in the Theory of Condensed Matter (TCM) group’s seminar room in the Cavendish Laboratory. Extensive instructions on travel arrangements to the Cavendish are available on the TCM group website but do not hesitate to contact the organizers if you have further questions.
Accommodation in Cambridge for the ONETEP spring school participants has been arranged with Sidney Sussex College, and with Emmanuel College in specific cases – both are in the centre of Cambridge.
