Social Program
We have planned the following social activities, which are subject to changes.
Saturday, 11 June: Day of arrival
We will start the institute with an informal get-together in the evening. The event will take place in St Trinnean's room at St Leonard's Hall from from 8.00 to 9.30 pm.Sunday, 12 June: First outdoor activity
We start with a joint hike to Arthur’s Seat in the morning, an extinct volcano located just in front of Pollock Halls, followed by a guided city tour of Edinburgh at 2 pm. In the unlikely case that the weather is too bad for hiking, the activity will be replaced by a guided visit to the National Museum of Scotland, located also in the city centre and close to the Bayes Centre.Meeting point: Main entrance to St Leonard's Hall
