Social event (Wednesday, 14:00 - 18:00)
The social event is a 45 mins walk in the surroundings and to/from the harbor (walking shoes are recommanded) and a 2h30 boat trip at the "Calanques de Piana".
The social event participation is complementary to all tutorials and technical session participants. For those NOT wishing to participate to the walk, a car pooling service will be organized. Interested participants are kindly requested to inform the registration desk as early as possible.
The social event is subject to the weather and sea conditions. In extreme cases, the conference organizer may have to postpone the social event to Thursday 11th. In that case, the Thursday’s afternoon technical sessions will be moved to Wednesday 10th.
