Social Program
Monday, Oct 4 at 18:00: Viking Ship Reception
In the 9th, 10th, and 11th century, the vikings traveled in their
beautiful ships from
Scandinavia across the Atlantic to North America, on the Russian
rivers to the Black Sea, and into the Mediterranean as far as
Istanbul. The ships were also used for burials, and about 100 years
ago three buried ships were discovered, remarkably well
preserved. They are now in display in the
Viking
Ship museum.
Program
The reception program includes transport to the museum, admission and a guided tour, as well as some entertainment, wine, and canapés.Note
To better preserve the ships, the museum is kept rather cool―warm clothing is adviced.Location
The Viking Ship Museum is located on the beautiful Bygdøy peninsula about 5 km from the city center.Transport
Buses will leave from outside the conference building at~17:30; the buses will return from the museum at 20:00, arriving at the congress centre about half an hour later.Cost

hall was built 1931‒50. Apart from housing city
administration, it was designed to be a showcase of Norwegian art
and craft, using Norwegian artists and artisans as well as
Norwegian raw materials.

Location
Oslo City Hall lies on the waterfront in the city center (see the map).Transport

In 1624, the old medieval (mostly wooden) city of Oslo burned down and a new
renaissance city was built beneath Akershus castle. In this area which
is now Oslo's old
town, Gamle
Logen (The Old Lodge) was constructed in 1836‒39
as a masonic meeting place and concert hall. Today, it is used for concerts
because of the excellent acoustics as well as for banquets.
Our banquet includes an excellent meal, musical entertainment and Richard Soley as banquet speaker.
Location
Gamle Logen can be found just beside Akershus castle in downtown Oslo, see the map.Transport
Gamle Logen is only 10‒15 minutes from the conference center when walking, so no transport is arranged. You may want to take streetcar/tram line 12 or 13 fromCost
One admission ticket to the banquet is included in the conference fee (except for students); additional tickets cost NOK 1040. You may order additional tickets when you register for the conference.
