St Catherine’s College

The 'moat' around St Catherine's

The youngest undergraduate college, St. Catherine's College was designed by the Danish architect, Arne Jacobsen and is one of only a very few pieces of post-1945 architecture to be Grade 1 listed. It offers delegates the benefits of modern accommodation and up-to-date meeting and technical facilities, whilst being only a short walk from the cloisters and quads of traditional Oxford.

The conference offers delegates (optional) onsite accommodation as part of a residential delegate fee. Delegates will be accommodated in the new accommodation block (completed in 2004) in ensuite rooms.
