Ninth White Rabbit Workshop, Amsterdam (Netherlands), 14-16 March 2016.

The Ninth White Rabbit workshop will take place on 14-16 March 2016 at the Amsterdam Science Park conference halls (indicated by Science Park 125 on the map ) in the Euler room (Z009). See also travel information below.

Fully booked!

The good news: We have a record amount of participants!
The bad news: I'm sorry that I have to set an upper limit to the number of participants.

Register

Please send an email if you want to attend (Peter Jansweijer peterj@nikhef.nl) and then I'll put you on the list of participants.
If you want to present your work then please inform Javier Serrano.

Vidyo

There is a Vidyo connection to the conference room so you should be able to attend the workshop from remote as well. Note that being remote is unfortunately less interactive than being present. If you feel like having an important question or remark, please use the group chat such that we can try to address them during the workshop.
Follow this link to join the meeting
For information about Vidyo follow this link to the Vidyo portal.

Dinner

You are free to join dinner (becoming a tradition) on Tuesday March 15. Dinner will take place at van Puffelen in downtown Amsterdam, Prinsengracht 375-377. The price will be ~30 Euro for a three course menu (drinks not yet included).
Here you'll find a map that guides you to the restaurant
Please let me know if you want to join dinner (peterj@nikhef.nl) so I can arrange in time.

Travel-Information

How to reach Amsterdam Science Park

Amsterdam Science Park is easy to reach by public transport. The train station Science Park, as well as the bus stops, are indicated on the Amsterdam Science Park map .
The WR workshop will take place at the Amsterdam Science Park conference halls (indicated by Science Park 125 on the map ) Euler room (Z009).
See for more information Getting to Amsterdam Science Park .

Public Transport

Plan your journey by public transport via this link.

For public transport you can either buy single tickets, or use an 'OV-chipkaart'.
The OV-chipkaart is convenient since it is valid in bus, tram, metro and train.
You can buy an OV-chipkaart at the ticket machines at the train stations, at the service desks of the GVB (=the public transport company, these desks are located inside train stations), and in some tobacco shops, supermarkets and Bruna shops.

You can find all information about fares and the OV-chipkaart on the 9292 website.

Cycling

Cycling is by far the easiest and fastest way to get around in Amsterdam.
There are many places in Amsterdam where you can rent a bicylce:

Renting a bicycle costs about 8 to 10 euros for a single day. The rate is lower if you rent it for a couple of days.
Important notes:

  • Before you leave the place where you rented the bicycle check that the lights work (back and front). You need them when it is dark outside.
  • Before you start riding the bicycle be aware whether you rented one with hand brake or pedal brake. Occasionally a short response time is advantageous. Then it is good to know where the brakes are.

Hotels

These are the hotels where Nikhef regularly books rooms for their guests.

Nikhef has negotiated deals with these hotels. If you like Nikhef to book a hotel for you, please send an email to:
travel@nikhef.nl. You will have to pay the hotel yourself according to hotel policy.
You can also book a room at booking.com yourself. It has been our experience in the past that it's not much of a difference pricewise.

Most of the hotels are all located along tram line 9, the tram line closest to Nikhef.
Eden Manor Hotel is closest to Nikhef. Prices vary between 80-150 euro (depending on season and availability).

Wifi

Several Wifi networks are available in the conference room (Eduroam and WCW-gast).
