‍Beamer (video projector)

‍For computer presentations, hooked to a dedicated laptop (PC windows 7 running MSoffice 2013, Adobe-acroread, OpenOffice, etc...)

‍Recommended display is 16/9 but 4/3 also works

‍Speakers may use their own laptops (but we clearly disfavour this to avoid dead time between presentations)

‍

‍Plug adaptors

‍Italian plugs are different from the European standard. You can easily find an adaptor in local stores or borrow one at the conference secretariat.

‍

‍

‍Computer and pointer for presentations

‍Presentations are to be loaded in advance to the conference computer. Each session’s organisers will communicate about the preferred method (indico, cernbox, email, etc)

‍In case something went wrong or you did not load it already, bring it in your usb data stick at the beginning of the session and ask the chairperson to load it

‍A pointer is provided

‍        

‍About pointers:

‍A Swiss regulation bans the import, possession and use of laser pointers on Swiss soil, with the exception of Class 1 laser pointers with a conforming label stuck on. In case of doubt, we would recommend you, not to bring a laser pointer through the airport!

‍

‍Printers

‍There are no professional printing facilities in place

‍We can print travel tickets and such
If you are presenting a poster, bring it already printed !!!

Visa

You can see here if you need a visa to enter Italy

If yes, then refer to the Italian consulate as soon as possible, the procedure may take more than 2 months in some countries


Kind of Visa

The procedure is simplified if you apply for a tourism visa, which is enough to participate to the conference

It will allow you to transit via Switzerland and use the conference bus from Geneva if it is more suitable for you than Milan

If you apply for a business visa you should specify “academic conference” in the request, but we can not provide the necessary official host document as we are not an Italian organisation


Support documents

We can provide an invitation letter to start the process

Usually a booking confirmation is also useful, we can provide it once you are fully registered

In any case, we need your passport information in order to provide a letter
