The program is now posted on the meeting website: http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/2013/Lambek13/Horaire_Lambek13.pdf The CRM is located on the 5th floor of the Pavillon Andre-Aisenstadt on the campus of the Universite de Montreal. See building #20 on the campus map: http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/2013/Lambek13/gettingtoCRM_e.php The lectures will be held in room 6214 (6th floor, Andre-Aisenstadt building). Registration will take place on Saturday morning, from 8:30 to 9:30, in room 5345 (5th floor, Andre-Aisenstadt building). Every participant will have an access to the Wi-Fi network on the campus. The lecture room is equipped with blackboards, a data projector (to view .pdf files) and two overhead projectors. Getting to CRM from the airport: All passenger flights arrive at Montreal-Trudeau International Airport. You can take a taxi from the airport to your hotel or to CRM (about $30). There is also a shuttle bus ("747 Express Bus") from the Montreal-Trudeau Airport that brings you to the central bus station in Montreal which is located downtown Montreal and allows you to transfer directly to the Berri-UQAM Metro station (one-way ticket: $9/adult; the ticket is also good for use on the metro and local bus system for 24 hours after its purchase.). The first stop of the 747 bus is the Lionel Groulx metro station, which is also a convenient metro transfer point. Getting to CRM from the central bus station in Montreal: From the central bus station in Montreal, take a taxi (appr. $15.00 - $20.00) or the metro ($3.00) to Berri-UQAM metro station (access from Montreal central bus station) going towards Montmorency ("orange" line) to Jean-Talon station. From there, take the "blue" line, going towards Snowdon and exit at Universite-de-Montreal metro station. You are now on the Universite de Montreal campus, a few minutes away from CRM. Look for the metro exit that takes you to a long mechanical ramp (like an escalator, but with no stairs), take it to the top and exit the building (it will have taken you up a big hill and to the front of building #14 on the campus map; the CRM is on the 5th floor of building #20.). Getting to CRM from the train station: At the train station, take the Bonaventure Metro going towards Cote-vertu, on the "orange" line. Change stations at Snowdon and take the "blue" line towards Saint-Michel. Exit at Universite-de-Montreal station. http://www.stm.info/en/info/networks/metro Getting to CRM by car: If you are travelling by car, take the "Decarie" Expressway (Highway 15) and exit at "Chemin Queen Mary Road". Travel east on "Chemin Queen Mary Road". When you cross Decelles Street (one street east of "Chemin Cote-des-Neiges") you enter the campus of the Universite de Montreal. Be aware that it's difficult to park on the streets surrounding the campus. However for the price of $13 per day, you can use campus parking lots.
