=*.*= Financial support application =*.*=

We have limited resources to help those who really do not have any
means to attend the meeting and wish to. If you want to apply, please
write to viscacha.project@gmail.com justifying your request, how much
exactly you would require and for what. Anyone applying for this
support must submit an abstract for a talk.

The deadline is 22/Apr but we appreciate earlier requests.



=*.*= Abstract submission and registration =*.*=

The meeting is planned to have approximately 12 talks, 2 round tables
and 3 sprint sessions between Monday and Wednesday (no
posters). Thursday and Friday will be dedicated to collaborative work
having all experts together, which makes it more efficient.

We encourage everyone to submit an abstract for a talk. If you think
that your contribution is not developed enough for a talk, feel free
to contact us in advance at viscacha.project@gmail.com. It may be that
your contribution is indeed valid and useful for the discussions, as
this is a collaboration meeting.

The deadline for registration with an abstract is 15/May.

If you still do not want to present a talk, but would like to
participate, you are more than welcome. The round tables, sprint
sessions and collaborative environment will benefit a lot from your
participation.

The deadline for registration without an abstract is 03/Jun.

The registration fee is R$150 for postdocs and professors, and R$50
for students and must be paid upon arrival.

Registration form can be found in here (it works well with Chrome and Safari, some reports of Firefox not working).

=*.*= Logistics: flights and hotel =*.*=

We strongly recommend you to book your flights as soon as
possible, because the prices are increasing fast.

Do not book any hotel for now, because we are talking
to the nearby options to try a good agreement for
all the participants.
