Exergy-Economics Workshop
Exergy-Economics Workshop, May 19-20 2014, Weetwood Hall
Welcome to the exergy-economics workshop. below you will find a summary of the location, progamme and sessional descriptions. On the right hand side tabs you will find (in time) more information on each sessional theme.
Location:
The venue is Weetwood Hall Conference Centre and Hotel, Otley Road, Leeds, LS16 5PS.
Directions: The easiest way to reach Weetwood Hall from Leeds train station or Leeds Bradford Airport is by taxi. From the train station it takes 10-15 minutes – the taxi rank is outside the front of the train station. From the airport, it takes 15-20 minutes – the airport has a contract with Arrow taxis whose booking office and taxi rank is outside the front of the airport. If you intend to drive or use public transport, further information/ directions can be found on Weetwood’s Hall’s website at http://www.weetwood.co.uk/page.php/id=604.
