Practical information 

Registration 

Participation is free but a sit will be guaranteed only to those who register by January 10th at gdarimat@uva.nl. We can host only about 30 people, we will give priority to early registrations. Please indicate any dietary restriction.

Presentations 

Each paper is allocated 35 minutes. Please aim at a 20-minute presentation (at most!) to allow enough time for questions and discussion. The usual audiovisual will be available: bring with you your own laptop or a USB stick. The chair has the incentive-compatible task of keeping the session strictly on time. 

Travel and accommodation 

Food and refreshments will be provided. We are unable to refund travel, accommodation or other costs. Authors and participants are expected to arrange their own travel and accommodation. There are a number of hotels and a large supply of B&Bs at a short walking distance (it is very nice to walk from the city center to the law school along the river Amstel) and we do not have any special rate. Please book as soon as possible. Amsterdam is very busy at any time of the year.
