Other Information
(1) The
registration starts from 14:00 on Aug.3. (For those who will come on different
days, please visit the SI office for the registration.) We will break up around
12:00 on Aug.13.
(2) Almost everyday, we will have three talks; one of
them is a review talk
(2hr) and the other two are seminar talks. (Usually,
one of the seminars will be about string theory and the other will be about
cosmology). We reserved a few discussion rooms and so we hope that this will be
a nice occasion for people from different communities interact with each other.
(3) The BBQ party will be held in the evening on Aug.8.
We will have
no talks on Sunday Aug.10.
(4) The breakfast, lunch and dinner are
available every day, but sometimes you may want to skip. So please fill in the
`check sheet' of meals at the SI office, which will be situated in a room of the
conference place and will be run by some graduate students.
