Tips:

For the transportation, we advise the participants to take the train from the airport. We do not recommend to rent a car to people who never drove a car on snow or by winter conditions. We also recommend the participants to book the hotel early since January is a busy period. Finally, participants should take warm clothing such as heavy coats, gloves, cap and good shoes for winter season! (Casual dress is recommended at the workshop.)
