The 25^th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering

September 2, 2025 to September 5, 2025
Nottingham, UK

Conference Venue

DocEng'25 will take place at the University of Nottingham's School of Computer Science on the University's Jubilee Campus.

The School of Computer Science

The School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham is a modern and dynamic place to work and study, providing state-of-the-art facilities and undertaking world leading research. The Computer Science building is based in the centre of the picturesque Jubilee Campus. Just a short walk or 5 minute free bus from the renowned University Park Campus.

The University’s first foray into the world of computing came in 1962 when the Cripps Computing Centre was founded. The first computing classes were taught in 1963 by Dr Eric Foxley of the Mathematics department. 1984 saw the beginnings of a detachment from Mathematics when the Computer Science Group moved into a row of three portacabins under the leadership of David Brailsford.

The Department of Computer Science then moved to the top floor of the iconic Tower Building on University Park in 1986. Once we had filled every inch of space which became available there we moved to the newly developed Jubilee Campus in September 1999.

Since then, we have continued to expand. The number of students we have has continued to grow. We have also seen the development of the Horizon Doctoral Training Centre and Digital Economy Institute along side us.

Jubilee Campus

Jubilee campus opened in 1999, and is located about a mile to the east of the main University Park Campus on the site of the former Raleigh Bicycle Company factory. The award-winning campus's name derives from the fact that 1998 was the Golden Jubilee of the granting of the Royal Charter that made the university an independent degree-granting organisation.

Like the University Park Campus, Jubilee has been constructed around an artificial lake and with similar green surroundings. The buildings also contains many innovative environmental elements such as living roofs (Sedum) aiding storm drainage, insulation and promoting biodiversity, and solar panels. Particularly striking is the library, the Sir Harry and Lady Djanogly Learning Resource Centre, a circular building situated in the middle of the lake with only one, spiraling, floor.

Where to Stay

There are a number of hotels both close to the University, and in the centre of Nottingham. Further details of accomodation will be posted in the new year.

How to Get Here

Nottingham is easily accessible by train from major cities across Europe by Eurostar services to London St Pancras, where a direct train to Nottingham can be taken. Seat61 is an excellent guide for planning and purchasing train based travel around Europe, including to the UK. Train services to Nottingham from London St Pancras can be booked with East Midlands Rail.

The nearest airport is the East Midlands Airport (EMA), which serves flights from Europe. However, Nottingham can also easily be reached from major UK hubs such as London Heathrow (LHR) , Gatwick (LGW), Birmingham (BHX — be careful to avoid booking a flight to Alabama…) and Manchester (MAN). Onward travel from the airports can be made via regular railway services, consult National Rail for details.

Jubilee Campus is readily accessible from Nottingham by regular tram (alight at the QMC stop) and bus services.
