SEVENTH CONFERENCE<br />
ORIENTATION AND NAVIGATION<br />
BIRDS, HUMANS AND OTHER ANIMALS<br />
The Seventh International Conference on Animal <strong>Navigation</strong>, hosted by the Animal <strong>Navigation</strong> Special Interest<br />
Group <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Navigation</strong> (RIN), will be held at Whiteknights Campus, University <strong>of</strong> Reading,<br />
UK, on 6-9 April 2011. The conference will bring together research scientists, from the whole range <strong>of</strong><br />
disciplines that relate to animal navigation including <strong>Orientation</strong>, Migration, Ethology, Neurobiology, Sensory<br />
physiology, Ecology and Entomology. In keeping with the ethos <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Institute</strong>, the conference will also<br />
welcome pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and amateurs from all fields <strong>of</strong> navigation and related scientific disciplines. We are<br />
grateful to the Company <strong>of</strong> Biologists Ltd, familiar to many through the Journal <strong>of</strong> Experimental Biology, which<br />
has provided a grant to provide support for students attending the conference, and to the European<br />
Commission (EC) who have helped some researchers from the new EC countries by the provision <strong>of</strong> travel<br />
funding. We also wish to thank the following for their contribution to the success <strong>of</strong> the conference:<br />
Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (DSTL), The European Office <strong>of</strong> Aerospace Research &<br />
Development (EOARD) and the Office <strong>of</strong> Naval Research Global (ONRG)<br />

The Conference will take place in the Palmer Lecture Theatre <strong>of</strong> the Whiteknights Campus, University <strong>of</strong><br />
Reading. Accommodation will be available in the halls <strong>of</strong> residence at reasonable rates, and may be booked for<br />
partners who are not attending the conference. All rooms are single en-suite. An ice-breaker reception will be<br />
held on the Wednesday evening, prior to dinner, and a Conference Dinner will be held on the Friday evening.<br />
All meals (including the Conference Dinner), c<strong>of</strong>fee/tea, and the ice-breaker reception, will be included in the<br />
conference fee. Reading is situated about 25 miles (~40 km) from Heathrow.<br />
The town <strong>of</strong> Reading is served by a direct bus service from Heathrow and by a fast train service from<br />
Paddington station, London. There is a bus service from Reading station to Whiteknights Campus (Bus routes<br />
19, 20 and 21) and taxis are available from Reading Railway Station to Whiteknights Campus at about £9. See<br />
maps opposite.<br />
There is a bank, ATM and shop onsite. And there will be 50 parking spaces available fairly near to the<br />
accommodation. Parking spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
