I will also connect via Vidyo, but have another meeting at 11:00.
I started working on the program booklet; I am collecting and
editing the program information and have started to collect some
practical information. I have attached (a rough draft of) the
corresponding section below; any input is welcome.
A few specific items which we can discuss tomorrow, or on which
you may want to provide input are:
- Opening times of the reg desk: do we plan to have a desk
staffed for the whole meeting, or only at the start?
- Uploading of talks: not sure how much details we need to add; I
assume that we will rely on Indico, and most people are familiar
with it. Will there be a dedicated 'AV-desk' or testing room
during the conference (I don't think we need it; just asking)?
- Maps etc: do we need a map for the way to the Spoorwegmuseum,
or is that already foreseen? A map of the buildings for the
parallel rooms would in principle be useful, but only if it has
the KBG and BBG in one map. Does anyone know whether that exists?
Best regards,
Marco.
Practical Information
Registration Desk
The registration desk is open on Monday
16:00-18:00 and
Tuesday from 8:00. During the other conference days, the desk is
open …
Wireless Network
In all university buildings, two wireless
networks are
available for general use: eduroam, which works for anyone with
an eduroam
account, and UU-visitor, which should accept any connection, but
requires that
you agree to the terms and services any time you reconnect. A
pop-up window
should appear automatically.
Talk upload
Please upload your talks to the Indico
website at least half
a day before the session. In case you have a problem with
Indico, please
contact the local organizers or the registration desk.
Public
Transportation
The Utrecht Science Park (‘De Uithof’) can be reached by many
bus services; the
most frequent ones from downtown Utrecht (Central Station,
Janskerkhof, etc)
are line 27/28, which stops at ‘Botanische Tuinen’ and line 12,
which stops at
‘Padualaan’.
Bus tickets can be bought on the bus, but if
you plan to use
the bus throughout the week, you are probably better off getting
a chip card
(OV-chipkaart, 7.50 euro one-time fee) at the station, the
service desk of a
super market or another sales point. This card can be recharged
at the machines
at the station. For more details, see the SQM webpage Travel
section.
Conference sessions
All the plenary sessions are in the Cosmos
room of the
Victor J Koningsberger building (Koningsbergergebouw)
Conference Dinner
The conference dinner takes place
at the Railway
Museum (Spoorwegmuseum), on Thursday 13 July, at 19:00. The
railway museum is
just outside the city center and can easily be reached on foot
by taking the
Maliebrug (bridge) from Lepelenburg (the small park at the edge
of the city).
