Safety advices

Salvador is a very beautiful and interesting city. However, its safety standards are not comparable to the one of an average European city. So, we advise participants to pay attention to their belongings and to avoid walking too much around with their mobile phones in their hands. Moreover we advise people to avoid entering empty streets at night. We also recommend not leaving their belongings without supervision.

Transportation

We suggest to take Uber or 99 (transport by app as Uber)

Wi-fi at the event

The network UFBA-Visitantes is open. You can also use EDUROAM network if you have access to it.

How to arrive at the event

The school will occur at the Instituto de Matemática e Estatística da UFBA (Universidade Federal da Bahia), at campus of Ondina: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yXjFL8rMXn8pQuSp9. Talks will occur in the auditorium of the institute, on the ground floor. Check-in, coffee-breaks and poster sessions will occur in the hall in front of the auditorium.

Check-in

As announced on the webpage, the registration will take place on Monday 7h45-8h45. We reinforce the importance of paying the registration fee: it will support many aspects of the event, such as coffee-breaks, the music and cocktail, and financial support to many students.

Conference Dinner

The conference dinner will happen on Wednesday, 7th of August at 19h at the KI-Mukeka Restaurant. For a fixed (subsidized by the event) price of 70 Reais it will be served a starter, a fish and shrimp Moqueca and a dessert. Vegetarian Moquecas are also available upon request. We recommend going to the restaurant by Uber. Its location is https://maps.app.goo.gl/SHkYh4Phffh4grpaA
