Birmingham City University warmly welcomes you to participate in the 38^th annual EAIR Forum. We are located in the centre of Birmingham, the UK’s second city.

With its wide range of facilities and rich cultural heritage, Birmingham is an ideal venue.
The Curzon Building, where the main business of the Forum will be held, opened in June 2015 and occupies an enviable position overlooking one of Britain’s newest city parks and adjoining the City’s ground-breaking science museum, ‘Thinktank’. Curzon Building is one of four new or refurbished buildings that together form the City Centre Campus.
