Getting there
If you’re travelling by train, you can take the subway directly from both train stations to either Hillhead or Kelvinhall. You can pay with a contactless card/phone. The ARC website has videos showing how to get there from nearby Subway stations. From Edinburgh, it’s usually faster to travel to Glasgow Queen Street Station.
Please come to the main entrance of the Advanced Research Centre (ARC). The room is on the same floor as reception. Please look for signs or ask for directions at reception.
To find the room, walk along the rooms opposite the main entrance until you reach a wooden door. A Stempra colleague will welcome you there.
Who can attend?
The event is free to members of Stempra. Membership to Stempra gives you free access to all our events, which are in person and online, alerts to job the latest job vacancies in science communications and opportunities to discuss with your peers those sticky questions in your field.
