The schedule of the conference will offer sufficient time for both ski (morning) and science (afternoon), with optimal conditions for interactive exchanges and discussions between all participants.
Champéry is a small but excellent ski resort, with more than 100 ski lifts and 500 km of runs, connected to the domain of the “Portes du Soleil” that link 14 different resorts across the Swiss and French border (see http://www.champery.ch & http://www.portesdusoleil.com). It can be reached easily and directly by train from Geneva Airport (approximately 2 hours), or by car and buses. Geneva Airport has many international connections (http://www.gva.ch), but you will have to be careful to book flights in advance because the winter season is very busy! Another possible airport is Zurich.
Hotel conference prices are published here: https://www.unige.ch/ABIM/accomodation/ . Please note that this year the curling competitions from the Youth Olympic Games 2020 will be taking place in Champéry from January 9th to the 22nd 2020, so we advise you to book your hotel in advance.
Please feel free to forward or post the information among your collaborators or in your department / institution.
