After the successful workshop organized last year in Columbus, Ohio, we are happy to host this new Stellar Intensity Interferometry workshop in the beautiful small island of Porquerolles (French Riviera).
The workshop aims at gathering researchers involved in the modern revival of intensity interferometry, its enabling technologies (detectors, photonics...) and closely related interferometric techniques.
Registrations to the workshop are now closed. We are 39 participants.
Practical information
Dates: September 9th - September 13th.
Arrival is planned on the Monday (9th) afternoon, the scientific program will start on Tuesday morning. It will end on Friday at noon. Departure will be on the Friday (13th) after lunch.
Transport
The island of Porquerolles can only be reached by boat from the harbour "La Tour Fondue" in Giens or from Toulon. We'll organize a bus transfer from (and back to) Nice Airport on Monday and Friday afternoon to La Tour Fondue. It is thus strongly advised to arrive in time and stay for the whole duration, as reaching Porquerolles by your own mean might be complicated.If you do want to arrive by your own mean, please find the ferry timetable on the following link. You can reach La Tour Fondue by bus from Hyères with the line 67 (réseau Mistral), and reach Hyères by the regional train network (TER) from Toulon, Nice or Marseilles.
Accomodation
We have booked rooms at the IGESA center, where the conference will take place, with full board. The cost is 427 €/pers. in twin room, 547 €/pers. in single room for the whole duration. There will be no conference fee.Program
