Program

HIAS 2025 will be held in the Physics Auditorium, building 160, the end of Mills Road, Acton 2601. The program is available below. Please be aware that minor changes may still occur prior to the commencement of the symposium. Hardcopies of the program will be provided to all delegates at the registration.

We would appreciate you taking time to read the Delegate and Presenter Informational Pack (PDF 1MB), as it covers logistical arrangements, information about social functions and tours, guidelines to presenters, code of conduct and other details.

Would you still have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the committee secretary.

A printable version (PDF 215KB) of the program is also available for download.
