IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Thanks to your tremendous response we have now exceeded the projected number of registrants for NESS 2006. As a result, we are now relocating the symposium to the nearby Chemistry building. This will provide us with a larger and better equipped lecture theater close to the Biophysics building, where we traditionally host the symposium. Registration will start at 8:00am at the Chemistry building Lobby.

Please click for the updated map & directions.

The UConn interactive map is here. Please use “Chemistry” for your search. For Mapquest, please use “55 North Eagleville Road”.

We apologize for the confusion that the change of location may have caused. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
