List of participants

Hotel accommodation

The organisation hopes that many participants from outside Amsterdam will stay in one of the selected hotels, since this will create a good and creative atmosphere.
For hotel accomodation, please contact the organisation. Then you may benefit from a 10% reduction on hotel costs.

If you can't arrange financial support from your institution or university, you are encouraged to send us beforehand a request for payment of the hotel costs. However note that you may be asked to share a room with another participant.
