The workshop will take place in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Lecce.

This is located on a campus, mainly in its oldest part, Collegio Fiorini, very close to the town Monteroni and well connected to Lecce by special buses. A bus stop is located at 300 m from the railway station in Lecce; free tickets will be provided to all the participants.
