Venues

The course (December 5-7) will be held at room 602 of the Department of Computing and Mathematics (DCM) of the School of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP) of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto (USP/RP). The mini-workshop will be held at room 220 (Sala Verde) of the Department of Physics (DF) of FFCLRP, USP/RP.

Coffee-breaks will take place at “Cantina do Valter”, which is located besides the DCM and DF buildings. Lunches can be held either at “Cantina do Valter” or at the canteen of the Law School across the street from DCM and DF. The Law School canteen has a better range of vegetarian dishes.
