Bristol was once one of the most important trading ports in England, and the city’s links with the ocean span hundreds of years. Much of Bristol’s rich history is still evident today, acting as a lasting tribute to the brave adventurers and merchants who once set sail from the city docks. The University, where this meeting is being held, is situated in a lively area of the city and although it is not a campus university, the majority of its buildings are only a few minutes' walk from each other.
