Official Announcement for RSECon24
Safety and Travel Information
Date: 9th August 2024
Over the previous two weeks, there has been civil unrest in the UK that has been fuelled by misinformation online, the far-right and anti-immigration sentiment. In light of these events, several countries have issued travel warnings for citizens planning to visit the UK as far-right riots continue in parts of the country.
We understand that this situation may be causing concern among our registered attendees, particularly those travelling internationally. We are monitoring the situation and taking guidance from Newcastle University to ensure the safety and security of all our attendees. At this time, we do not expect any changes to our conference programme. All sessions and activities are planned to proceed as scheduled.
- Travel Guidance: International travellers should adhere to the guidance issued by their respective governments. We recommend staying informed through official channels and following any travel advisories or instructions provided.
- Queries and Concerns: Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our steering group by emailing [email protected]. We are here to help and provide support to ensure your safe and comfortable participation in the conference.
