7th Solanaceae conference
Dundee, Scotland, 5-9 September 2010

SCRI and UK-SOL are delighted to announce that they will host SOL2010 from 5-9 September in Dundee, Scotland this year. The city of Dundee is set in a picturesque location on the north shore of the River Tay, the largest and most famous river in Scotland. Dundee has a population of 140,000, and is the fourth largest city in Scotland.

SOL2010 is being jointly hosted and organised by SCRI and UK-SOL, and the conference venue is the Apex Hotel, located in the heart of Dundee’s regenerated waterfront district. A free airport transfer service to Dundee is available online, where coach seats can be booked against pre-allocated airport transfer times.

The Apex is a short walk from the centre of Dundee, where there are shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities. Guests staying at the Apex (only 152 rooms so book fast!) will also have free access to the gym and spa facilities available at the hotel. There are other hotels for varying budgets within walking distance of the Apex.

The conference dinner will be held on Wednesday 8 September at Guthrie Castle – a uniquely Scottish venue, where you will enjoy a warm Scottish welcome and hospitality. See you in Dundee!
