People interest have to send their vitae and their interest or research problem to gr.egoredes@uab.es

Accommodation can be find in the same University, either as apartment  or in the Hotel Campus. The lunch is provided by the course. We normally have lunch together at 14:00 (a bit late for European or American usages). The best way for getting the UAB from Barcelona is by train with the "Ferrocarils de la Generalitat de Catalunya, FGC", lines S2 and S55.  There is a stop station for the University "Universitat Autònoma". From Catalunya Square (at the Centre of Barcelona) the trip takes about 30 minutes. From the station to "Facultat de Lletres" or to the "Vil•la" (the accomodation facilities) the walk takes about 10 minutes.

There is another stop  station from Renfe named "Cerdanyola-Universitat" but it is a bit far from the Campus, so we recommend strongly to take the FGC line instead.
