Venue

The school will take place at the Institute for Scientific Study (IESC) at Cargèse, in Corsica, France. This site overlooks the Mediterranean sea and is located just outside the village of Cargèse.

The closest airport is in Ajaccio.  In November, it is served principally by Air France and Corsica Airlines. Reserve early to obtain the best rates. Overnight ferries from Marseille or Toulon are also a possibility. More detailed access information can be obtained via the IESC site.

The registration fee includes two scheduled bus trips: one from Ajaccio airport on Sunday Nov. 26 (departure time around 19h) and one back to the airport on Fryday Dec. 1 (arrival time around 17h).  The voyage takes about 1-1/2 hours.

Transport outside of these scheduled bus voyages is the responsability of the participant. Be aware that a taxi from the Ajaccio airport to the conference site costs approximately 100 euros, or 140 euros on Sunday and at night from 7 PM - 7 AM. The taxis can be shared however.

Accommodation

Accommodation from Sunday night to Friday afternoon is included in the registration fees, and includes breakfast and lunch (Monday to Friday). The gala dinner at the IESC is also included in the registration fee. All other dinners are at the charge of the participant; restaurants can be found in Cargèse village (15-20 minutes by foot).

It is expected that all participants and teachers will stay at the IESC for the whole week!
