2015 TRUCE Summer School on Unconventional Computation

August 31-September 4, 2015 - Málaga, Spain.
Picture
An intensive one-week programme, comprising  lectures from leading researchers in unconventional computation, independent workgroups, and (of course!) leisure time, set in the beautiful surroundings of Andalusia, Spain.

Applications for the summer school have now closed.

Travel information

Venue: the school will be held in the Sala de Grados A, ETSI Informatica (the Computer Science building of the University of Malaga), located at Campus de Teatinos, in the west-side of the city limits (Google Maps link). It is very well connected by bus to the city centre and to the Technology Park, and rather close to the airport and train/bus station. 

Information on travelling to and from the airport is available here.
