2. Monday, November 17 at the Weizmann Institute
 

General
A one-day informal satellite meeting on "Hot and Dense Matter: the next few years", is planned at the Weizmann Institute, on Monday, November 17.  With the start of the LHC program behind the corner and the strong ongoing RHIC program, the very near future looks exciting for the study of hot and dense matter. The meeting will focus mainly on open and controversial questions where progress is likely to be made in the next years.

Dinner
   

Participants are welcome to prepare a short, (3 slides/5 min) presentation for any topic of their interest and show it during the discussion time.

Location
The meeting will be held at the Drory Auditorium of the Physics building (Weissmann building) of the Weizmann Institute. Please consult the campus map.

Registration and Accommodation
There is no registration fee. Lunch and coffee will be provided. A few rooms and apartments on campus or at the nearby Faculty of Agriculture have been reserved and they will be available from November 14 to 18 at a cost of about 150NIS per night per person. If you wish to reserve one of these please send a request to Sasha Milov stating your arrival and departure time and number of accompanying persons.

Transportation
There are several means to get from Eilat to Rehovot after PANIC. Please consult the PANIC08 travel page. If you choose to fly from Eilat we recommend booking the flight as early as possible. Land transportation can be arranged during the conference at Eilat.
 
For all options you can consult these resources:
Flights:  Israir, Arkia
