On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, a bus will leave from the Dan Panorama to the University at 8:30. Transportation back to the hotel will be provided by the end of each day's sessions.
The poster session will be combined with an informal reception and will take place on Monday, 16:00-18:00 (4:00pm-6:00pm) at the CRI, Education Building, 6th floor.
We will leave from Dan Panorama at 8:00am. The tour will take us to Beit She'arim, Beit She'an, the Sea of Galilee and Nazareth, with several other sites along the way. Light lunch will be provided. Before returning to Haifa, we will stop for dinner (the cost, approximately 100 shekel, is to be paid individually). Recommended equipment: good walking shoes, umbrella and a rain jacket, modest clothing (no mini skirts or sleeveless shirts), a water bottle. Expected arrival time: 20:00 (8:00pm).
We will leave from Dan Panorama at 8:00am. A two-hour bus ride to Jerusalem will be followed by a six-hour walking tour of the Old City, covering the Armenian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter, the Wailing Wall, the Christian Quarter, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Bazaar. Before returning to Haifa, we will stop for dinner (the cost, approximately 100 shekel, is to be paid individually). Recommended equipment: good walking shoes, umbrella and a rain jacket, modest clothing (no mini skirts or sleeveless shirts), a water bottle, a backpack to store lunch in (your conference bag should be perfect). Expected arrival time: 20:00 (8:00pm).
We will leave from Dan Panorama at 10:00am. We will start with a guided tour of the Bahai Gardens, followed by a leisurely walk in the Arab quarter of Haifa. The way back involves some serious climbing up hundreds of steps. Recommended equipment: good walking shoes, umbrella and a rain jacket, modest clothing (no mini skirts or sleeveless shirts), a water bottle. Expected arrival time: 15:00 (3:00pm).
Friday schedule will be somewhat different. At 15:00 (3:00pm) we will provide transportation back from the University to the Dan Panorama, where the special event will take place at 15:30 (3:30pm). There will then be a longer break until dinner.
The conference dinner will take place at the Pythagoras Hall of the Dan Panorama on Friday at 19:00 (7:00pm). Dinner will be followed by an informal, non-scientific discussion and closing ceremony.
