We have some important reminders in connection to the SIG 11 conference “Research in Teaching and Teacher Education” June 13-15.1. Everyone who has been accepted to do a paper or poster presentation must register for the conference by using this link: https://reg.app.uib.no/SIG11. If you have not registered by May 20, your paper will be withdrawn from the conference.
2. If you plan to bring a friend or spouse to Bergen who will not attend at the seminar, please give us his/her full name and we will book a double room for you to share. Your accompanied should also contact the hotel at post@westlandhotel.no and give details about his/her stay and which meals (s)he will have. The hotel can give detailed information about the costs, and payment must be made directly to the hotel. However we will arrange transportation to and from Bergen city (using the same bus as the other participants – see schedule on our website https://sig2012.wordpress.com/).
3. We are looking for more volunteers as chairs for the paper sessions. Everyone, including junior researchers, is invited to be chair. If you wish to be a chair, please send us an e-mail at: jol089@webmail.uib.no.
4. There are still a few places left at the exclusive first-come first-served guide event Wednesday June 13. The famous Norwegian author Gunnar Staalesen will take 40 participants on a special tour guide in Bergen city. This is scheduled from 18:15. If you are interested, please e-mail us: jol089@webmail.uib.no. His Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnar_Staalesen
5. We would also like to remind you that the hotel is not easily accessible by public transport, and we recommend all to make use of the inclusive collective transportation Wednesday night to the hotel and Friday afternoon to Bergen and the airport.
