POST-CONFERENCE FIELD-TRIP
Thursday 25 - Friday 26 September 2008

FIELD-TRIP REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

 

Info concerning the end of the field trip:

We plan to leave from the last stop (near Modena) at 4 p.m. and we are thus expecting to reach Florence at around 7 p.m.. However, due the potentially unfavourable traffic contortions some extra delay should be considered and a safe estimate is thus within 8 p.m.
