EVENTS

* FCT is part of the program related to the scientific opening of the new
  "Ole-Johan Dahl building" of the Department of Informatics.  This part
  takes the morning of Monday 22nd.  It will include invited talks and
  discussion panel on mainly theory and future of programming languages.

* The social dinner takes place in the Gamle Logen, the place where the
  King of Norway hands each year the Abel Prize for life-long achievements
  in Mathematics.

* An excursion is organized in the second afternoon of the conference.
