Accomodation for all the participants will be arranged in the facilities of La Cristalera complex which, apart from the academic facilities, includes a restaurant, bar, swimming pool and many terraces and gardens ideal for outdoor discussions. The registration fee includes full board (all meals and coffee breaks) as well as transportation between La Cristalera and Madrid center and Barajas airport. All rooms have individual bathrooms; students may have to share the room (same fee).
