LOCATION
The conference will take place at the BGU campus in Midreshet Sde-Boker, Israel, (see map). The lectures will take place at the university guesthouse (location 16 on the map).

CLIMATE
May in Israel is usually hot, and Midreshet Sde-Boker is in the desert, which is even hotter. The lecture room and the private rooms are air-conditioned. We recommend short sleeves, but something warmer for the night. It never rains there at this time of the year. IMPORTANT: Bring a hat and sun cream. If you join the excursion we recommend bringing good walking shoes.

SWIMMING POOL
There is a swimming pool, which is expected to operate during the time of the conference.

E-MAIL AND INTERNET
There is a wireless internet connection at the guesthouse.
