There is ample parking onsite for delegates – we reccomend delegates use the following car parks:
Travel by train – visit National Rail or Trainline for options.
The nearest mainline station is Coventry. From Coventry station, you can catch a No.12 (12X) bus which takes about 15 minutes. There is also a taxi rank outside Coventry station on Station Square.
Travel by bus – visit West Midlands Journey Planner or Bus on Demand Service for options.
The University is connected to Coventry, Leamington and Kenilworth with regular bus services. The Slate is a 5-minute walk from the University’s bus stop interchange – view the walking route on Google Maps. Bus numbers 12X, 11 and 11U are the main buses serving the campus. There is also a “Bus on Demand” service, which does not follow a specific route or timetable. Instead, you book a journey and a bus will pick you up at a time and location you choose.
The Faraday Institution is the UK’s independent institute for electrochemical energy storage research, skills development, market analysis, and early-stage commercialisation. It brings together research scientists and industry partners on commercially valuable projects to reduce battery cost, weight, and volume; improve performance and reliability; and develop whole-life strategies including recycling and reuse.
