Summer School 2013
Quantum Integrable Systems and Quantum Information
At Lawlors Hotel, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford
18-24 August 2013
The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), in collaboration with Chalmers University, Gothenburg (Sweden), is organising a summer school on “Quantum Integrable Systems and Quantum Information Theory” from 18-24 August 2013. The School is aimed at postgraduate students and young researchers, as well as at higher level undergraduate students with an interest in quantum systems and/or quantum information theory. The school will take place in Lawlors Hotel, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. Students are expected to fund their own flight and accommodation but all other costs are covered by DIAS, including speakers, coffees/teas and a bus which will be organised from Dublin airport to Dungarvan on Sunday 18th, returning Saturday 24th August. The speakers are: Dr. Nilanjana Datta (Cambridge), Dr Hans-Peter Eckle (Universität Ulm), Prof. Henrik Johannesson (Gothenburg), Prof. Simon Ruijsenaars (Leeds, UK) and Prof. Mark M. Wilde (Louisiana State University).

Travel Information:
Where is Dungarvan?
Dungarvan is a small town on the south coast of Ireland, to the west of Waterford. Lawlors hotel is in the centre of the town.
Street map of Dungarvan
Transport:
Please note that the only feasible travel option to get to the conference location is to fly into Dublin Airport. Cork Airport has no direct public transport link to Dungarvan. Waterford Airport does not have any international flights.
DIAS will provide a bus free of charge to bring delegates from Dublin Airport to Dungarvan on the Sunday afternoon. The bus will leave Dublin Airport at 4:00pm on Sunday 18th August and it will then stop enroute at DIAS (10 Burlington Road, Dublin 4) leaving DIAS at approximately 4:45pm/5:00pm. Anyone arriving in Dublin before Sunday will be able to get this bus from DIAS on Sunday. The bus will return to Dublin on Saturday 24th August. Return time to be confirmed.
In the event that you miss the DIAS bus, you will have to make your own travel arrangements to Dungarvan and cover the cost of this yourself including any additional accommodation costs. There is a public express coach from Dublin Airport to Waterford. However, the latest bus with a connection to Dungarvan leaves Dublin Airport at 5:00pm (timetable). Buses after that time only go as far as Waterford. If you are on a late flight, the options are:
(1) travel to Waterford on the public express coach. (Please contact us if this situation arises and we will advise on arrangements) (Waterford City Bus Station location)
OR
(2) stay in a hotel near Dublin Airport overnight and take the public express coach to Dungarvan the next morning.
Connections to Dublin City Centre for those arriving before Sunday:
Aircoach service : Buses from Dublin Airport to Burlington Hotel (Leeson Street Upper). NOTE: Please take the bus direction LEOPARDSTOWN
Directions to DIAS: 10 Burlington Road, Dublin 4. Directions
