LtgOslo_Oscarsborg

Background

On Wednesday and Thursday, June 8 and 9, 2016, LTG staff will convene at Oscarsborg Hotell for an off-site retreat. The plan is to leave Oslo at 9:30 in the morning of June 8, so that we can take a ferry onto the island leaving at 10:45. We will need three cars, with Emanuele, Jan Tore, Pierre, and Stephan as possible drivers. On June 9, we will finish (possibly with waffles) in the afternoon and plan to leave the island no later than 16:00.

Participants

To finalize our booking at the hotel, we need to provide a participant list. I have made informed guesses about participation and dietary preferences, but please double-check and either correct or let me know by Friday, May 20.

Programme

As at previous occasions, we will seek to combine scholarly and social aspects in setting up our meeting programme. As regards the former, all group members are invited to prepare an informal, high-level reflection on their current and anticipated academic interests, and on the larger group or even our field. We will discuss how to best make use of our time on the island jointly at our next group meeting, on June 2. Regarding the social programme, this aspect too is a shared opportunity (or responsibility, some might say :-).
