Info about the hands-on courses
For the hands-on courses participants are expected to bring their own laptops and to install the X2Go client and/or ssh client prior to the winter-school. Info for those who have Windows installed on their laptops: convenient ssh clients for windows are MobaXterm or PuTTY.

Social program during the weekend
Given that Ajdovščina (the conference site) is a small town, optional touristic trips can be organized during the weekend, depending on the interest of attendees. The proposed choices are the following:
Saturday (06/02/2016): optional touristic
trip to Ljubljana
(capital of Slovenia) or alternatively to Trieste
(nearby seacoast city in Italy).
Sunday (07/02/2016): optional touristic trip to
beautiful Škocjan
Caves.
To facilitate the organization of the trips, please indicate your interests on the registration form. The approximate price for renting a bus for the whole day is around 350 EUR (actual cost per person will thus depend on the number of attendees). Touristic tours are not reimbursable by COST.
2nd Week Program
The table below presents the school program for the second week (speakers and topics). Note that school program finishes on Thursday afternoon.
