What?

We will stay in the Alps for three days. There the goal is to get to know each other better, have a great time, and create research opportunities. Here is a rough draft of the schedule.

  • On the first day we leave in the morning and we will arrive sometime around noon. After lunch everyone gives a short presentation about their research interests. The presentations should be 5-8 minutes depending on the number of participants. We have a beamer so you can use slides. In the evening we have planned some social activities.
  • On the second day, if the weather permits, we go for a hike in the mountains. You can choose between an easy and a more challenging hike. This is a great opportunity to get to know each other better and if some of the talks from the first day interested you this is a chance to ask more detailed questions.
  • On the third day we will go for a swim in the lake and leave at around noon.

If you have any suggestions or requests regarding the schedule please contact us. You will receive an email with further instructions such as what to bring with you.
