Dining arrangements

The dining room has 70 places, so participants will be divided into two groups with separate dining schedules. This system will be used for all meals at CAR (but not for the banquet, which is being held elsewhere). The allocation of participants to the two groups and the respectives dining schedules will be made available shortly.


Conference dinner

The conference dinner, a banquet in honour of Gracinda Gomes, will be on Wednesday 5 July.


After the conference

On the morning of Friday 7 July, participants in the conference can take a boat trip on the Douro river. This is not included in the conference programme, so participants will have to pay individually. The organizers are negotiating with the trip promoters for a discounted price. More information will be available soon.
