Venue information

Biomag2022 will be held at the University of Birmingham.

Founded in 1900, this was the UK’s first civic university, where students from all religions and backgrounds were accepted on an equal basis. Today, it continues in the same innovative spirit as a World Top 100 University and a leading research institution.

The University of Birmingham has a strong research community dedicated to human brain imaging. Recently the university established the Centre for Human Brain Health, which is conducting research on cognitive and clinical human neuroscience. The centre houses state-of-the-art brain imaging equipment, including a new MEGIN MEG system and an OPM laboratory.

Conference venues

Biomag2022 events will all be held on the central campus, in the original redbrick Aston Webb Building on Chancellor’s Court, including the Great Hall, the Bramall and a marquee.

Whilst the main conference sessions will be based in the Aston Webb and Bramall building, the main hub of the conference will be based in the Green Heart Marquee where you will find the registration desk, exhibitors, poster boards and all conference catering.
