The workshop aims at developing further the collaborations and existing scientific partnerships between France and Italy, as well as consolidating other joint partnerships, such as with Québec and Norway. Its scientific aim is to expose the state of the art of the Algebraic combinatorics of the symmetric groups and finite groups. The topics covered include: symmetric groups and other Coxeter groups combinatorics, geometric approaches and representation theory, invariant theory, combinatorial Hopf algebras, symmetric functions and their generalizations.

How to get there

From Rome or Naples 

From Rome or Naples, the simplest way to reach Cetraro is by train: check the schedule on https://www.trenitalia.com. On the website of Trenitalia, use "Roma Termini" for trains departing from Rome, and "Napoli centrale" for trains departing from Naples.
If you arrive in Rome Fiumicino Airport, there is a direct train going from "Fiumicino aeroporto" to "Roma Termini" (central station), it runs about every 15 minutes, lasts 32 minutes and costs 14,00 eu, you can purchase the Fiumicino Aeroporto to Roma Termini train ticket from the same website https://www.trenitalia.com.
If you arrive in Aeroporto Internazionale di Napoli, there is a bus service going to Napoli Centrale train station, called Alibus; the buses run every 15 minutes, lasts 15 minutes and should cost 5,00 eu.
The hotel has a pick-up service from both Cetraro and Paola train station:
(a) From Cetraro train station: 30 euros per ride.
(b) From Paola train station: service by Car (3 persons max., 50 euros each way) or by Minibus (8 persons max., 77 euros each way).
Both prices are for the vehicle and eventually can be shared by the passengers if more than one: in that case individual bills will be made by the Hotel.

From Lamezia Terme

The nearest airport is Lamezia Terme Airport. From there are then two ways to arrive to the hotel:
(a) going to Cetraro by train from Lamezia Terme Centrale (a bus connects Lamezia airport to Lamezia centrale), then the pick-up service in Cetraro see above; again you can check the schedule on https://www.trenitalia.com.
(b) The Hotel pick-up service from Lamezia Terme Airport, by Car (3 persons max., 95 euros each way) or by Minibus (8 persons max., 127 euros each way).
Both prices are for the vehicle and so can be shared by the passengers. Individual bills will be made by the Hotel.
Please note that for night shuttle services (between 1.00 am and 5.00 am) there is a 30,00 euro supplement.
In order for us to arrange and group the pick-up service, please let us know as soon as possible (if you did not do so already) of your arrival/departure times at Cetraro (or Paola) train station, or Lamezia airport. Please feel free to write to us for any questions you may have.
