Social Activities
As an optional, non-professional, pre-conference activity, we are offering a
guided walk along the Oslo waterfront on the evening of Sunday, June 18. The
plan is to stroll through both Akershus Festning (historic Oslo) and
Akerbrygge (modern Oslo), enjoy good views of the fjord, and end up at
an outside beer
garden with drinks and snacks. The waterfront walk is included in the
conference fee, though not the refreshments. We will start at
18:00 from the Oslo
town
hall (rådhuset), where we meet right in
front of the town hall
on the waterfront side, i.e. where the streetcar runs along the town hall
front.
On the evening of Monday, June 19, everyone is invited to participate in the
conference dinner. The dinner will be held from 18:30 at
Jeppe
Restauranthuset near the university. We plan to leave jointly from the
conference right after the poster session, which ends at 18:15. Jeppe
is a gentle fifteen minute walk away from the conference site; people who would
prefer to book a taxi instead, please do so through the registration desk.
