An evening at ‘Skansen’ starting at 17:45 with welcome drinks at the MAIN ENTRANCE!! The detailed program of the evening can be found in the program book. Here two practical matters. Weather: While the dinner itself is indoor, most of the other activities at Skansen are outdoor, so be prepared! Getting there: From the City center: Take bus no. 47 to its final stop (15 min travel time, 10 min intervals). From the University: Take the Subway to ’Tekniska Högskolan’, leave that station by walking in the direction of the train you came on and keep right. When you exit you are very close to a bus stop. Take bus 44 to its final stop (15 min travel time, 10 min intervals). 3 tricks to avoid the crowded buses when 700 icpeac’ers are going at the same time! 1. Come early! Skansen is really nice and you get in any time on Sunday when showing your dinner ticket. 2. Take the ferry from ‘Slussen’ (on the Subway’s Red Line) or the tram from ‘Nybroplan’. 3. Walk from the Subway station ‘Karlaplan’ (about 2 km). And the Winner is.... The J. Phys. B Poster Prize for Thursday goes to poster no. Th xxx ’jadajadajada’, by qqqqq et al. Congratulations!!
