Social Event

The social event on Wednesday afternoon will be a guided walk through historical Zürich (max. 50 persons). Alternatives are exploring Zurich by your own, visiting one of the Zürich museums, hanging-out at the lake and go for a swim. Detailed information will be provided during the conference.

Excursion

An excursion to the Research Station Jungfraujoch is planned for Friday 1. September 2017. There is limited availability for the excursion (max 50 persons) due to logistical reasons. Registration for the excursions closes when the maximum number is reached. Costs for the excursion to Jungfraujoch include bus transfer and train ticket to Jungfraujoch and lunch at Jungfraujoch. This will be a full-day trip, arrival at Zürich / Dübendorf at around 8 PM.

Alternatively, a visit of the Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) is possible on Friday 1. September 2017. More information is available here. Please indicate your interest in visiting METAS by sending an email to Myriam.Guillevic. If you plan to come by car, please also indicate if you may have free seats for other interested participants. Practical information on how to get to METAS is available here.
