Conference Dinner
The conference dinner will be held at Norrlands Nation.
The menu will be based on classical Swedish ingredients.
Student life in Uppsala is focused around the "nations", which originally
gathered students from different Swedish regions. The nations have always
been intended as a home-away-from-home for students from a specific region
(there are 13 nations in Uppsala). Nowadays, the nations arrange pubs, discos,
and formal dinners as well as running libraries, sport clubs etc. Norrlands
nation is the largest nation and one of the oldest. It has a lovely dining
room, with a view over the Fyris River and lies within easy walking distance
of the hotels. Extra tickets for the conference dinner are USD 55.00.
Excursion
The optional excursion, a trip by narrow
gauge steam train eastwards
from Uppsala, will take us through the beautiful nature of the region
Uppland. The train will stop at several interesting stations, with
afternoon coffee served at one of the stations. You can sign up for the
excursion on the registration form. Price USD 25.00, including the afternoon
coffee break.
Computer Science Education in Uppsala

courses will be presented. Participants will also be able to meet and have
