Conference Program

Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday • Friday
 

Monday – Tuesday:

Workshops, Tutorials and the Early Career Symposium will take place in the building for School of Education and Communication (H).

Tuesday-Friday:

The main conference will take place in the building of the School of Engineering (E). More precisely in the room “Fagerhultsaulan”.

Both buildings are relatively small meaning that by entering through the main entrance you cannot miss the location of the conference.

Note that the welcome reception on Tuesday evening will take place on JTH’s area (Framgången 1 Leveranser:, Lasarettsgatan 2, 553 18 Jönköping) in the newly build Science Park. If you arrive late, the building is located next School of Education and Communication.
