Welcome
The University of Liverpool is proud to host the 40th AUCSO anniversary conference in 2024. Founded in 1881 as the original ‘red brick’ university, the University of Liverpool is one of the UK’s leading research-intensive higher education institutions and a member of the prestigious Russell Group universities.
As someone born and bred in Liverpool, it's important to me that you receive a heartfelt memorable experience during your time in the city not just from the University, but from what the City of Liverpool has to offer.
Liverpool is a multicultural and diverse city, having a unique accent, friendly people, and diverse cuisine, offering a wide range of activities and stunning architecture, famous not just for The Beatles but also our museums, football stadiums, the famous Royal Albert Dock and of course the Liver Building, home of the Liver Birds sitting at the top one looking over the sea and the other looking over the city.
I am proud and excited to be working with the Executive Group in what will be a fantastic and memorable conference. You may want to take the opportunity to extend your stay and enjoy the Liverpool atmosphere with the Grand National race meeting at the Aintree Racecourse on the 11th, 12th and 13th of April.
I look forward to welcoming you all in April 2024.
