Transportation:
COPA, the official Panamanian airline, is offering a discount of 20 % on plane tickets for workshop participants. To get this discount, tickets need to be purchased through a COPA travel office.
Discounts will not apply on tickets purchased through internet. Tickets can be purchased at any time after January 24, 2007, mention code cocodrilos-STRI. We understand that this announcement is later than most people expect for an international meeting and it is also later than we had hoped it would be.
The opportunity to hold this meeting at STRI arose last fall, but the logistics of having this meeting in Panamá resulted in the details of the workshop not being finalized until recently. Thus, we are trying to recruit participants for the workshop as quickly as possible to take advantage of the chance to hold such a meeting at STRI.
More Information:
Transportation (from the Hotel to the Workshop location), and food services will be provided by the organizers of the workshop, but that service will not be available for the participant's guests.
