Here is a list of items that we recommend you bring and what you can expect to be provided. Please contact the organizers if in any doubt.

It can be quite cold in mountain areas of Norway during winter. We expect temperatures between -15°C and -5°C. A more detailed weather forecast can be found here. The hotel and conference room have good heating but for the outdoor activities we highly recommend that you take:

• Warm clothes. (Hat, scarf, gloves, woollen socks etc.)
• Wool or thermal underwear. (Long johns, etc.)
• Windproof shell clothing. (It might be smart to have a double set of these, in case they get wet.)

• Cross-country or downhill skis and skiing equipment. Please remember to bring or rent a helmet for downhill skiing.
• If you are unable to take skis and/or skiing equipment, it will be possible to rent a pair of skis. (Please contact the organizers for more information.)
• Thermos.
• Small backpack for the aforementioned thermos, food and extra clothing.
• Swimming gear for use in the outdoors (heated) pool.

• A laptop you can use for presenting your slides. Bring your slides on a USB pen or on CD (or email it to the organizers in advance). We recommend the LaTeX Beamer class for writing slides in LaTeX.
• Computer projector.
