Social programme:
A visit to the Söderfjärden meteor crater will take place on Monday evening. The guided walk in Vaasa Old Town will not be organized due to insufficient interest. The conference dinner will take place on Tuesday evening at Janne's Saloon in Kuusisaari — an island where we get to after a cruise through the Vaasa archipelago.
Outreach event:
Elina Lindfors will give a talk entitled "Jännittävät mustat aukot" at the University of Vaasa on May 22 at 18:00. See the dedicated website for more information.
