The conference will be held at Newcastle University's Dove Marine Laboratory at Cullercoats. The Dove represents a history of over 110 years of marine science in the north east of England. The lab has always played an important part in teaching and research of marine sciences at Newcastle and many alumnus have fond memories of being at Cullercoats during their studies. Now part of Newcastle University’s School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, parts of the Dove have been modernized​ for contemporary teaching but the historic character remains. Situated right on the beach at Cullercoats, it's the perfect place to host YCSEC! 

The Dove is out to the east of Newcastle City Centre on the coast at Cullercoats (full address below).

From the city centre, the best way to get to the Dove is using the Metro network with a daily ticket costing less than £6. The Metro network is extensive throughout the city, and the Metro station at Cullercoats is less than 200 m from the Dove marine lab. You can purchase Metro tickets at any station before boarding and a full Metro map is available here. For those driving, a number of small paid car parks are located near to the Dove itself.
