3.3. Programme venues
Parallel sessions will take place at two venues: the RGS-IBG building (RGS), and The
Royal School of Mines Building (RSM) at Imperial College London. Buildings and their
entrances are clearly marked on the map on the back cover of this programme book. A
conference assistant will be in the foyer of The Royal School of Mines Building from

Each session has a code, made up of the day, time, and room for that session. The
codes are explained on the front inside cover of this programme book. ‘RGS’ means a
room at the RGS-IBG, while ‘RSM’ means a room in The Royal School of Mines
Building.
