S3 day-to-day

Village. Check Visnjan panorama (requires Quicktime). More of Visnjan panorama can be found here.


Accomodation. Participants sleep in modest multi-bed rooms, in a dormitory near the observatory. Meals are taken three times a day in nearby restaurant. Village has a post office, grocery shops, restaurant and two caffes. Observatory has a 24h fast Internet connection.



Work. Depending on the project, you will either stay in the village or go to do terrain work. Beside lectures which are held in late afternoon, work is directed by a project leader. Most of the work will be done during the day, but night field trips are not excluded. Apart from excursion day do not expect too much free time.



Briefings and presentations. Briefings - project's day report - are presented during the evening. On the last day, final presentation from each project will be given. Each project will also make a report for the S3 web before they leave.



Participants and language. School is limited to maximally 15 participants. Most of the participants come from Croatia, and few from abroad. Presentations, briefings and lectures are in English. If a project has a non-Croatian speaking person, language used is English.

What to bring? Bring warm clothes for possible work during the night. Optional are mosquito repelent and sleeping bag. Calculator could come handy.
