And the Social Aspects:

Opening ceremony at the Opera with a brave top seminar --- The opera! When else do underpaid, overworked scientists with little kids get into the opera? Good food and wine there as well! --- Thoroughly enjoyed the awards reception as it was a little smaller so you could really talk to people.  I was also very impressed with the reception at City Hall --- The opening ceremony at Opera House for the talk, the venue and the singer --- In my own opinion they were just EXCELLENT. Really, this was a great opportunity to discuss and meet many other people, completely exceptional compared to other international congresses I attended before --- All the evening receptions were very pleasant. I personally enjoyed most the reception after EACR members gathering. A great time to approach the speakers in a small crowd --- All the social aspects were excellent, especially the conference dinner --- The awards ceremony was very nice and also the light refreshment after the ceremony gave the opportunity to chat with different people in a more familiar way --- Opening ceremony in the opera house, due to fantastic music, friendly hosts and breathtaking setting --- Opening lecture and ceremony were particularly enjoyable - nice concept for the ceremony and an extraordinary place --- The conference dinner: venue was great, the food also, and the atmosphere was very nice! --- All the social events were lovely!! It's difficult to find the best one...probably the Opening ceremony at the Oslo Opera House --- Making new friends.
