5. CONFERENCE VENUE

Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre (IOMRC), on the grounds of the University of Western Australia (UWA), 63 Fairway (corner of ‘Fairway’ and ‘Service Road 4’), Crawley, Western Australia, 6009, Australia ( https://iomrc.org/ ).

The Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre is situated in the south-west corner of the UWA campus. A 5 storey-building, the Centre includes UWA’s Oceans Institute, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), CSIRO, DPIRD and the Western Australian Marine Science Institution.

The main meeting room for the conference is the auditorium located on the ground floor of the building. This will cater for the larger group meetings (eg IIOE-2), plenary talks and any formal ceremonies. Other (smaller group) meetings can take place in other rooms (TBA) on other levels of the building, and participants will be guided to these rooms by the organisers or student assistants.

Due to the multipurpose use of the building, it has security protocols. Access to the building and its floors is key card restricted.

Organizers and student assistants (identified by “STAFF” logos on their badges) will be present to facilitate mobility, however we ask you to be respectful of the people going about their daily jobs within the building and for security purposes request that you do not wander around the building and floors or occupy rooms other than those assigned.
