What to bring and what to expect

Here are a list of items that we recommend you bring and what you can expect to be provided. Contact the organizers if in any doubt.

Useful items:

  • It can be quite cold in mountain areas of Norway during winter. A temperature of -10C is not unlikely. We expect something between -10/+4C but it might get significantly colder than that! Be prepared for -20C as well. The hotel and conference room have good heating but for the outdoor activities we highly recommend that you take:
    • Warm clothes (hat, skarf, gloves, woollen socks etc.)
    • Wool or thermal underwear (long johns, etc.)
    • Windproof shell clothing
    It might be smart to have a double set of these, in case they get wet.
  • Sport/clothing:
    • Cross-country skis and skiing equipment.
    • If you are unable to take skis and/or skiing equipment, or you can't ski, please contact the organizers and we will try to bring/rent a pair of skis from the Hotel.
    • Thermos.

HI-TECH equipment, what will be provided:

  • A laptop you can use for presenting your slides. Bring your slides on a usb-pen or on cd (or send it to the organizers in advance). We recommend the beamer-package for writing slides in Latex.
  • Computer projector.
