AIiH 2025 will be hosted in the Jesus College, University of Cambridge. Jesus College is situated on Jesus Lane, a quiet side street in the centre of Cambridge. Jesus College was first founded in 1496 by John Alcock, and the College’s full name is “The College of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist and the glorious Virgin Saint Radegund, near Cambridge”. The common name, Jesus College, comes from the College’s chapel, Jesus Chapel. Founded in the early 11th century, the chapel is the oldest Cambridge University building still in use.
