I am clueless how to go to the venues. Please, help

Agenda

Hopefully, talks will be posted to the DES server. Meanwhile talks will be posted with links from the agenda

Wednesday, May 17:

If you are already in Barcelona, enjoy it. Do not torture yourself coming to the collaboration meeting yet.
If you do not know where to start, here are some ideas

For people who nevertheless want to work:
12:00-1:00 IEEC colloquium: Held at IEEC
David Polarski (Montpellier, France): Dark Energy: trends and perspectives

2:00-5:00 Held at IFAE
FEE panel

5:15-7:00 Held at IEEC
MC meeting
7:00 Visit to PIC (Port d'Informació Científica: Data Management Center)
For people not knowing how to get there, meet at 6:30pm at the Hotel and we will walk with you to PIC. Other people will go from IEEC at 6:55pm. People knowing their way meet at PIC itself.
