Welcome toThe 12th International Jurassic Congresson the Jurassic System
5–9 July 2027 Streatham Campus, University of Exeter, United Kingdom Register interest
Conference venue
The conference will be held at the Streatham Campus of the University of Exeter, close to the centre of the ancient city of Exeter in southwest England.
The venue is easily reached from London. From Exeter St David’s Station, it is approximately a 10-minute walk to the Streatham Campus, and taxis are available. The average journey time from London Paddington to Exeter is 2 hours 30 minutes. London Heathrow Airport is the most convenient point of arrival by air. A convenient alternative for travel from continental Europe is via the Channel Tunnel and Eurostar rail service.
Costs
To maximise participation, we aim to keep the registration fee affordable. This is likely to be less than £300.
Bursaries
Fundraising has begun so that we can offer bursaries through a simple application process for delegates of limited economic means, covering registration and at least part of their travel costs.
Conference sessions
The sessions will run all day across four days, with an icebreaker event also planned.
Mid-conference field trip
A mid-conference field trip to the Jurassic of the Dorset coast is planned. The site is less than one hour’s drive from the conference venue, and the cost will be included in the registration fee.
Pre and post-conference field trips
These may change subject to availability. Currently, field excursions are planned for the Upper Jurassic of the Dorset coast, the Lower Jurassic of Somerset and South Wales, the Lower and Middle Jurassic of the Yorkshire coast, the Lower Jurassic of Northern Ireland, and the Jurassic of Scotland.
