The conference will be held at the University of Birmingham, within the Teaching and Learning Centre on our Edgbaston Campus.

Founded in 1900, the University of Birmingham was the UK’s first civic university, where students from all religions and backgrounds were accepted on an equal basis. Today, it continues in the same innovative spirit as a World Top 100 University and a leading research institution.

Located a five-minute walk from the University railway station, The Teaching and Learning Centre at the heart of campus opened in January 2020. A hub for education, the facility provides a state-of-the-art teaching and social study space to support the modern learning experience at Birmingham.
