Practical information

When you arrive at the University main building, you should go directly to your workshop’s teaching room; there is no formal registration.

Teaching rooms will be signposted at the entrance of the main building.

Before the Summer School starts, you will receive by e-mail a pdf document with further information, as well as directions on how to use the computing facilities.

There will be a Welcome Meeting on Wednesday during the lunch hour at 12:30, where appetizers will be offered.

As regular workshops start at 8 h 30 on Monday, you should arrive on Sunday evening*.

Plan to leave on Saturday, unless you can reach home when leaving Lugano Friday, late afternoon.

Preliminary workshops will start at 10h00 on Friday, August 13th.

All teaching rooms are located on the ground floor of the Informatics building (number 3 in the Map), on the Red building (number 2 in the Map and on the Main Building (number 1 in the Map).
The room numbers for the workshops will be sign posted at the entrance of all the buildings.

All the needed material for the workshop will be available on the eLearning USI Platform iCorsi. The Platform can be accessed trough a SWITCH AAI account (provided by all Swis universities or by us if you are not a Swiss student).

That is why it is important to bring your laptop with you.

Daily schedules are specific to each workshop; the instructor will inform you at the beginning of the workshop.

After the Summer School you will receive an e-mail, asking you to fill in an online evaluation questionnaire.
