| Day passes for KIT Campus North for social event: | ||
| KIT Campus North maintains a rather high level of security (it was the location of the first German nuclear research system and still has a few nuclear installations on-site). Since for the visit of the GridKa Tier-1 center and for the social event on Monday evening you need to enter KIT Campus North, we will prepare group day pass to avoid inconvenient queuing in line at the entrance. That is why you were asked for date and place of birth in the online registration form. Please bring along your passport (for citizens of European Union a regular ID card is also accepted). | ||

| Electric power: | ||
| We will provide a sufficient number of power sockets for all participant notebooks. (For students from abroad: please be aware that the plugs in use are of CEE-7/7 system. Take a look at wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_power_systems) if you are in doubt. German standard for current supply is 230V/50Hz. |
