ISSP 2014 Annual Meeting - Programme
Seminar venue Hotel Cumulus Pinja.
Saturday, May 24
14:00–22:00 Sight-seeing tour of Tampere followed by lakeside evening at Hangaslahti
Sight-seeing tour 14-15:30
Tampere is situated between two expansive lakes. Interestingly, it is this geographic fact that made the town a center of industry, aided by the efforts of a Scot called James Finlayson. After the sight-seeing tour, you will also know why the town used to be called the 'red' Tampere.
Lakeside evening at Hangaslahti 16:00–22:00
Here you have an opportunity to experience the traditional Finnish pastime of going to the wood-heated sauna, taking a dip in the refreshingly cold lake, and eating grilled sausages - or alternatively just enjoy an evening by scenic lakeside. We will provide transportation, buffet food, beverages and towels. If the sauna sounds tempting, bring your swimsuit/trunks and toiletries.
All meetings from Sunday to Wednesday take place in Hotel Pinja. The Work Orientation 2015 Drafting Group will have their meetings in Meeting room Tammikabinetti Sun-Wed, in addition the Meeting room Koivu is available Mon-Wed for other meetings.
