General and Registration information

Venue

The workshop is taking place at the new science building (Realfagbygget) on Gløshaugen campus, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU.

Working language and proceedings

The working language is English. Prepared interventions will be made available during the workshop, while summaries from team sessions will be distributed to participants afterwards.

Registration fee

The registration fee includes the workshop, lunches, the conference dinner and the proceedings. The registration fee is NOK 1200.  Registration deadline:   26 October  2000.

Confirmation of registration

Confirmation of your registration, including registration details, information regarding transport to and from the airport etc. will be sent to all registered participants in the beginning of November, and then as registrations arrive.

Travel

Travel and accommodation are to be individually reserved and paid for by participants.

There are frequent domestic flights between Trondheim and the international airports in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger.  Flying time between Oslo and Trondheim is 45 minutes. There is also a direct flight between Copenhagen and Trondheim running twice a day.

Travelling by train within Norway gives an excellent opportunity for sightseeing, and Norwegian trains are of a high standard.  The train journey over the mountains from Oslo to Trondheim takes approximately 7 hours.

An interesting alternative is to travel by coastal express from Bergen to Trondheim, a journey of approximately 30 hours along the rugged Norwegian coastline.  Your travel agent, or any SAS travel agency, can supply you with full details concerning travel to Trondheim.

Accommodation
