Welcome Dinner on Monday evening
The welcome dinner will take place in the city park restaurant, Stadtsparkcafeet. Times will be given in the lecture, but we will most likely walk from the conference venue. http://www.stadsparkscafeet.se
Excursion on Friday (Midsommarafton)
Midsommar is the biggest Swedish holiday of the year, so on Friday there are no scheduled lectures. An official excursion is organized - it is free of charge but everyone will need to provide their own bus ticket (< 10 EUR) and pic-nic lunch. We will leave the school at around 10 am, and go to the Skrylle forest North of Lund and celebrate Midsommer in the park by singing and dancing around the maypole. More info in Swedish are here: http://skrylle.se/midsommar/. The Skrylle area offers many easy hikes that can be done starting after the midsommar celebrations. There is also the possibility to bike there, if you rent a bike - if you are interested, contact Caterina via the school email or directly at the lectures on the day before.
In addition to the official excursion, Lund and the area around it offers many possibilities for private visits. A lot of information is available at the official tourist webpages for Lund and Copenhagen.
