The
campus of the “Universitat de les illes balears (UIB)”. UIB campus is located at
the Carretera de Valldemossa 7.5 km from Palma de Mallorca downtown. By the time the Workshop will start, most courses will be finished and
students will be around just for exams. This will make the route to be not as
busy as during course time. The trip from the hotel where the Participant
will be accommodated will take about 10-15 min. Buses will pick up
participants at The Workshop laboratory The Laboratory of Microbiology, as in the previous six Workshop
editions, will host the laboratory activities of the Workshop. It is located
at the Guillem Colom building, at 2-3 min walking distance of both the Campus
main cafeteria and the Ca's Jai building, where lunches and Workshop
conferences will develop, respectively. The laboratory is normally used from October to May to teach lab
courses of the UIB curricula of Biology and Biochemistry, and of the Biology
and Basic Medical Sciences PhD programs. Thus the Workshop itself does not
suppose a challenge for the laboratory in terms of space or equipment. Three
large benches will be used for benchwork, and additional facilities (kitchen,
some equipment, dark room, etc.) from the research laboratories will be used
as needed. HOTEL Participants and Faculty will be accommodated at Hotel Isla Mallorca
as in the previous six editions. Participants will share a double room with
people of the same sex. The hotel has been renovated in 2004 and has a small swimming pool
that is really popular among the participants as a mean to relax between the
Workshop and the night free activities. Hotel Isla The hotel is
conveniently located. Within 5 min. walking distance there is the Paseo
Maritimo (the sea side) the largest and most popular area of Unless the
Workshop secretariat receives other instructions from the participants, we
will arrange for them reservations for the nights of June 15 (Sunday) until
Saturday 21. Therefore, even if the official activities of the Workshop end
by Sat. 21 around noon, people can arrange their trips back home with some
flexibility, given that they have the room at their disposal, and as a part
of the tuition fees, on Saturday night. This also allows the organizers to
have programmed a non-official paella party on the beach for this day at
