Conference Venue
The conference will be held in the lecture theatre of the IAS building (HKUST Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study) of the UST campus (in Hong Kong). When you enter the IAS building, we will see the lecture theatre of the IAS building. The following shows a picture of the IAS building.
We provide a coach service from the Sundial area (near to the North Bus Stop) of the HKUST campus to the IAS building which departs at 8:30am and 8:45am on the conference day.
Note that there are two bus stops in HKUST, namely North Bus Stop and South Bus Stop. The IAS building could be reached from the South Bus Stop within 10 minutes. But, the IAS building could be reached from the North Bus Stop for more than 15 minutes.
We provide a coach service from the IAS building to the Sundial area (near to the North Bus Stop) of the HKUST campus which departs at 2:45pm and 3:15pm on the conference day.
The pick-up/drop-off locations of the Sundial area and the IAS building are shown in the HKUST map in the following UST map. Note that we include a image in the HKUST map to show the pick-up/drop-off location of the Sundial area where the yellow star denotes the exact location of the pick-up/drop-off location.
Note: On the conference day, when you reach the UST campus and plan to use our coaches departing at 8:30am and 8:45am, our student helpers will stay in the Sundial area and will bring a sign marked with "HKIS Conference" so that you could recognize our student helpers. They will be there at 8:15am. You could follow the guideline from student helpers on that day to take the coach smoothly from the Sundial area to the IAS building.
You could know how to reach the HKUST campus from outside in the university link.
You could know how to reach the IAS building from the North bus stop or the South bus stop within the HKUST campus in the university link.
