Location and events
The workshop will take place in the Marconi building (Aula Amaldi, 1st floor) inside the Sapienza University Campus.
On September 20th there will be a social dinner at the restaurant of Casa dell’Aviatore (check the map below for directions). The dinner is free for all participants.
On September 22nd, after Giorgio Parisi’s talk, he will be glad to host his friends and colleagues in a party in the countryside nearby Rome.
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
