Directions
This year's workshop will be held in the Simularium, Engineering 2 Building in the School of Engineering. Click here for a map of this area of campus.
If you will be participating in AGORA, August 15–18, it will be held at ISB 102.
Directions to University of California Santa Cruz.
Housing
No housing will be available on campus this summer. We recommend that if you plan to attend the conference, you arrange for lodging early. Although hotel policies vary, at the time you make your reservations you should ask if there is a UCSC rate. List of local lodging options.
Parking
Please enter the UCSC campus through the West Entrance and follow the signs toward Core West Parking Lot. Follow the directions to the Simularium where the workshop is held and there will be a check-in table there on Monday morning. If you have paid for parking, you can pick your parking permits on the third floor of the parking lot; if you still need to pay for parking, you will be able to do so there as well. Keep in mind that if you have a car on campus you must have a permit; the officers ticket regularly, even in the summer. Once you have parked, there will be signs to the Simularium, Engineering 2 Building. Map (directions from Core West to the Simularium)
Airport shuttles
Shuttle services from the airport to campus or to your lodging are available for a fee:
- Early Bird Airport Shuttle (Reservations required)
- Santa Cruz Airport Flyer (Reservations required)
- The Santa Cruz Experience (Reservations required)
Public transport
Public transportation options to, from, and around Santa Cruz can be done through the Santa Cruz Metro.
- Mission Inn
- Babbling Brook Inn
- CoastView Inn
- Continental Inn
- Dream Inn
- Hampton Inn
- Hilton Scotts Valley
- Inn at Pasatiempo
- Ocean Pacific Lodge
- Seaway Inn
- West Cliff Inn
- Hotel Paradox
- Holiday Inn Express
- Pacific Blue Inn
If you will be staying an additional week for collaboration, either before or after the workshop, you may want to try the following suggestions for a bit longer term and possibly less expensive housing:
- Santa Cruz Sentinel - Our local paper, The Santa Cruz Sentinel, classified advertisements
- Craig's List - Craig's List shows housing for rent in many areas- just select the Santa Cruz locations from the following Monterey Bay Area list
- The Hinds House - A local lodging vendor which offers weekly rates
In addition we have a listing from Academic HR, which contains many housing options for extended stays, typically in faculty/UCSC employee houses. This list is available upon request. For example, there is a 3-bedroom house near the beach and UCSC that is available for extended stay. Contact Aaron, romanow@ucolick.org.
For questions about accommodation contact Sue Grasso, hipacc@ucsc.edu.
Funding
UC-HIPACC (University of California High Performance AstroComputing Center) is co-sponsoring the 2014 Galaxy Formation Workshop.
A major goal of UC-HIPACC is to encourage collaboration on computational astrophysics between groups at UC campuses and the affiliated DOE Labs. We are willing to help with lodging support for UC students interested in attending the Galaxy Workshop. If you are interested in UCSC housing support please send an email to Sue Grasso at "hipacc@ucsc.edu"

Hello workshop participants,
The Galaxy Workshop is fast approaching! This year's workshop, Monday to Friday, August 11–15, will be held in the Simularium, Engineering 2 Building in the School of Engineering, to be followed by the AGORA meeting, August 15–18.
The registration fee this year will be $100 which will cover daily lunches and snacks as well as the banquet on August 11.
- Early June: Complete the Questionnaire (see below) which asks for attendance, talk titles, etc.
- Early July: Register and pay for the conference. At this time you will be able to purchase parking passes, sign up to bring a guest to the banquet, and let us know about any dietary restrictions.
If you have any comment about the program, kindly respond asap to Sue Grasso at hipacc@ucsc.edu.
Questionnaire
Questionnaire: https://docs.google.com/a/ucsc.edu/forms/d/1Z8N6iypCzuPl03Z6foeWSloeruen0_SvC-j-621FZXU/edit#

3rd AGORA Workshop
AGORA is an international collaboration to run and compare high-resolution hydrodynamic zoom-in galaxy simulations. Visit the AGORA Project website: http://www.agorasimulations.org/
This summer, the final day of the Santa Cruz Galaxy Workshop will also be the first day of the Assembling Galaxies of Resolved Anatomy (AGORA) Workshop (https://sites.google.com/site/santacruzcomparisonproject/workshops/3rd-workshop), which will run from August 15–18. On August 15, the AGORA workshop will meet in the Simularium, Engineering 2 Building in the School of Engineering. Map. (Similar map but with directions from Core West Parking Garage to the Simularium.) Susequent days will meet in ISB 102 (Interdisciplinary Sciences Building). Map.
