Whisky Retreat III
The third Whisky Retreat was held in the reading room at
SISSA, in
Trieste
(Italy) beginning in the
morning of the 22nd (WE) until the the afternoon of the 24th (FR) of
November 2006.
Here and here
you can read the past announcements
for the meeting. You could register by writing an email to
Frank Löffler, but now it is rather pointless.
We have been also able to support some participants by
paying (parts of) their tickets and/or hotel costs. You should have
indicated this to Frank Löffler. Thanks
for this support have to go to
Kostas Kokkotas.
The aim was, like in the previous
retreats,
to obtain an overview of the current
work on and with Whisky and in particular to discuss about the future of its
development. There was a very loose program, made out of a list of
suggestions of the participants. At the start of the meeting the following
items have been mentioned. Note that this schedule changed during the meeting
and those changes are not reflected here.
We started with administration/politics issues:

Below are some links to pages explaining how to reach Sissa (or ICTP, which
is right besides Sissa). The meeting took place in the reading room
of the library at Sissa. The library is at the 1st floor and you could find
the reading room at the back of it.
