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.

Hello workshop participants,

The Galaxy Workshop is fast approaching! This year's workshop will take place from August 4 - August 8, and will consist of a combination of talks and time for collaborative discussion/interaction

Registration

The full registration form will go online in early spring. If you are interested in attending, however, please fill out the questionnaire at https://forms.gle/USq6V5EDkee6iR3M7 so we are sure to include you when planning the program, and will email with any updates.



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 is holding its second regional mini-workshop in Osaka, following last year's workshop in Seoul. 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. This year's mini-workshop will take place May 29-30, 2025 at the Nakanoshima Center, University of Osaka, Japan, as part of the "International Workshop on Galaxy Formation + AGORA in Asia 2025". Please visit its dedicated workshop website for more information

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