Registration to this event costs £25 and is open to a limited number of participants (maximum 19 persons). Registration ends on 30 June. Buffet lunch, coffee breaks and a drinks reception are included in the price. Accommodation at St Anne’s College for 3 and 4 July is also available separately on a first-come first-served basis.

I attended it. There were many of the usual people there, as well as some itinerants and new faces studying variou aspects of alchemy or subjects related to alchemy. It was well organised and ran well.

I was there, too. It was nice to see you, Alexander. The workshop and the Scientiae conference following it (also with quite a number of alchemy-related papers) was indeed very well organised and a pleasant experience of meeting like-minded people.
