Central Calibration Facilities / CTA Calibration meeting

26 Oct 2015, 09:00 → 28 Oct 2015, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Facultat de Ciències i Biociències, Sala d'Actes (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)

Covered topics: ================ * Inter-telescope calibration * Atmospheric calibration (for the camera interfaces workshop, see https://www.cta-observatory.org/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=967) Location: ========== Sala d'Actes (coordinates 41.5005518,2.1083756) Universitat Auònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Facultat de Ciències i Biociències, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain. Access: ======== Please see the attached file "How to arrive" Lunches: ========= We have reserved places at the restaurant of the philosophy and psychology faculty (see attached file "Lunches"). The price per menu is 14.75 eur. Please tell the organizers if you do *not* want to participate in the organized lunch. Accomodation: ============== A very well suited hotel is the "Hotel Campus", located at University Campus (https://www.hotelcampusuab.com/ ) Please get further information in the attached file "Accomodation" Transport: =========== If you stay close to Plaça Catalunya, the trip to UAB takes about 35 minutes. Note that the best option is to buy a 10-trips ticket (which can be used by several persons at a same time), pay attention to purchase tickets for 2 zones! From the airport, take the "Aerobus" which goes directly to Plaça Catalunya, one trip lasts 30 minutes and costs 5.90 euros. Otherwise take the taxi directly to the UAB (cost between 30 and 40 euros). Useful links: Barcelona metro: http://www.tmb.cat/en/home Barcelona Aerobus to the aiport: http://aerobusbcn.com/ Barcelona Tourism: http://barcelonaturisme.com/ Wifi: ====== There is a free Wifi established for the time of the meeting, with the following coordinate: Wifi "UAB" Identifier "guest access" SeeVogh: ========= You can connect to the meeting via SeeVogh, the coordinates are given in the attached material. If you want to ask a question or give a presentation via SeeVogh, push the "hand" button.
