Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city, renowned for its heritage, culture, and festivals. Next to the World Heritage Site that is its historic centre, it is the home of many mathematical achievements, world-class universities, and the backdrop to several famous movies. Easy access to beautiful Scotland makes Edinburgh the second most popular tourist destination in the UK.
The workshop will be held at the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh, in the Informatics Forum.
Getting to Edinburgh is easy, through its international airport and two major railway stations. Most of the centre is easy to navigate on foot, and for longer distances you can get around by bus, tram, or taxi.
For international visitors, don't forget that you will need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) beforehand.
On Saturday 19th September, we'll be heading to North Berwick, a small seaside town in East Lothian to spend the day at the seaside. There is lots to see and do, the day might include a hike of the local hill (the Law) with great views of the Forth, a walk along the coastal path to see birds and beaches, a stroll down the high street, a visit to a local museum or the Scottish Seabird Centre, and of course we'll end the day with a drink and dinner at the pub (The Law).
The train from Edinburgh to North Berwick takes 35 minutes and runs approximately every half an hour until 19:24 (and hourly afterwards), so if anyone needs to arrive late or leave early, that's no problem.
