Information for lecturers
During the School will be available:
- overhead projectors and video projectors for presentations.
We expect lecturers using a powerpoint presentation have also a backup
slides which must be used in case of troubles. All talks will be included
as quick as possible in the collection of presentations on the school web
pages. Therefore all speakers must give to the secretariat their transparencies
immediately after their talks, but it is recommended that the speakers
arrive with a hardcopy of their transparencies, this can be also a file
in one of the usual electronic formats (powerpoint, pdf, postscript).
- two PCs in order to communicate via internet.
- one machine for copying.

Nature and Weather
Madonna di Campiglio is placed at 1550 m of altitude, just between
splendid mountain chains: the "Dolomiti di Brenta" consisting of dolomite
rock and "Adamello and Presanella" which are granite mountains. 400 Km
of alpine tracks are available on both sides, with excursions of various
levels of difficulty. The whole resort is inside a national natural park.

About the weather it is typical of the alpine mountains, quite warm
during the day (20-25 C), and relatively cooler during the evening
(15-17 C). Variations are possible as usually at this altitude (if

Sweaters, boots or walking shoes and a backpack are suggested.
