After a one hour flight and an even longer boat trip from the airport to my hotel / the venue, I finally arrived in Venice yesterday. To be precise, it’s on Lido (long strip of land in the background above) and (sadly) it’s not for holidays, but this year’s EPS HEP conference, which started today.
Let’s see how it goes …
Just because it’s nice …
After a long day at ATLAS week, I managed to get up to Grand Piton at Salève yesterday evening. Unfortunately a bit hazy, but still a great view and dinner spot :)
Just returned from a week in Bucharest at the ‘ATLAS Exotics and SUSY Joint Workshop’, which took place at the Ministry of Culture and had its conference dinner at the slightly oversized Palace of Parliament, depicted above. The latter holds some interesting records, e.g. as the world’s largest civilian building with an administrative function, the world’s most expensive administrative building and the world’s heaviest building!?
Anyways …  the workshop was nice, the dinner was nice, my talk was nice ;) and Buchrest certainly interesting … which reminds me of an equally interesting article on Bucharest I read this week.
Just a few impressions from our Allgäu holidays.
Returning from my short trip to Sydney and back in my office I got surprised by a package containing the printed proceedings of the IX International Conference on Interconnections between Particle Physics and Cosmology (PPC2015) I went to in July last year.
