Housing and Transportation

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.

Airport shuttles
Shuttle services from the airport to campus or to your lodging are available for a fee:


Public transport
Public transportation options to, from, and around Santa Cruz can be done through the Santa Cruz Metro.

Local Lodging Options

Although hotel policies vary, at the time you make your reservations you should ask if there is a discounted UCSC rate.


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:

  • Craigslist - Shows housing for rent in many areas


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.

12th 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 year AGORA had its first successful regional mini-workshop in Seoul and identified topics and leaders for the next batch of AGORA papers. Partly for this reason, we will not follow the long tradition of holding the Saturday AGORA workshop immediately after the annual Santa Cruz Galaxy Workshop. Instead, the AGORA Collaboration will hold an extended online workshop on the ongoing sub-projects on Thursday, August 8 (PDT). In order to accommodate our participants from across the globe, we are planning a 3-hour Zoom telecon tentatively scheduled at 16:00-19:00 PDT (that's 19:00-22:00 EDT, and on August 9 01:00-04:00 CEST, 08:00-11:00 JST/KST). The discussion agenda and Zoom meeting information will be distributed to AGORA Collaboration members.

If you are interested in attending or would like further details, please contact the AGORA Project Coordinator (santacruzgalaxy@gmail.com). More information about the Project and the 12th AGORA Workshop can be found on the AGORA Workshop website (AGORA Workshop website).
