Welcome

The 2011 Colloquium, Tuesday December 6 to Thursday December 8, will be jointly hosted by the University of Auckland and AUT University.

The annual Colloquium brings together the mathematical community of New Zealand while welcoming overseas visitors to join us.

Time will be dedicated to the discussion of all aspects of pure and applied mathematics.

Talks will be given by internationally recognized leaders in the field and also by emerging researchers and postgraduate students.

Travel Information

From the airport to the city I suggest the following transport:

• Air bus (public bus, cheaper option, stops in many places): http://www.airbus.co.nz/
• Super shuttle (mini-van, takes you to where you want to go): https://www.supershuttle.co.nz/

In both cases it is not necessary to book a ticket in advance.

Dinner

The Colloquium Dinner has been organized for Wednesday at the Tamaki Yacht Club on Tamaki Drive.

Accommodation

Several accommodation options are provided here.
