Sage-Combinat Days in Cernay, 6-12 April 2014

Cernay 2014, Sage Days 57

The fourth "Sage-Combinat Days in Cernay" will be held at Cernay-la-Ville (40km South-West of Paris, near Orsay), April 6-12, 2014.

We booked the guest house The Tower, a very nice and cosy "gîte", just short of an hour from Paris by public transport.

This follows the *-Combinat tradition of previous Sage-combinat workshops and MuPAD-combinat workshops before that.

This workshop is also "Sage Days 57". More Sage workshops are listed on the Workshops page of the Sage wiki.

Practical information

Venue

The workshop takes place in a guest house, which has comfortable working spaces, a cooking and dining area, and a few bedrooms. This favors an intense workshop, with everything taking place in the same place.

We will set up a wired internet connection and an open wifi.

The Tower can accommodate 8-10 people and an adjacent guest house offers more room if needed.

Meals are cooked in turns by the participants for everyone, so bring along your favorite recipes and dishes!

The surrounding area offers nice hiking possibilities, bring hiking/climbing shoes.

Also bring music instruments/scores for the breaks.
