The symposium is funded by The Ogden Trust and includes accommodation and all meals, but there is a non-refundable registration fee of £50. Travel expenses up to £120 may be claimed after the event equivalent to a return student rail fare plus taxis to and from Durham station, or 45p per mile, whichever is the lesser.

Clark The Dark Side of the Universe: Dr. P. Edwards The Hunt for the Higgs: Prof. N. Glover Cool Things to do with Lasers: Prof. I. Hughes All activities will take place in the Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics and in the Department of Physics, at Durham University. Local organization Dr. P. Edwards
