The general idea

We figure that some of you may be interested in taking advantage of being in this great area at this particular time for taking some extra holidays, visiting colleagues or whatever you may choose to do. Our plan is therefore the following: We will ask you to fill in as quickly as possible, the travel itinerary webform, we set December 15 as deadline. Below, we have indicated some airports/flights in which may be well suited for arrival and departure. We recommend to go to Bolzano by bus/train, see below. More information to follow on how to get from Bolzano to the hotel, possibly the hotel will help us in providing transportation.
NB! We assume that most participants will be present at least from Sunday evening Feb 17, to Thursday lunch time, February 21. We have been told that it might be possible to prolong the stay at the hotel both before and after the meeting.
