The workshop is devoted to Social Choice and Learning.
Objective: The schedule is divided between engaging talks, vivid discussions on open problems
and collaborative research time.
Dates: Arrival day is Saturday, May 9th (but attendees are welcome to arrive on
Friday 8th) with a full program scheduled for Sunday to Thursday. Departure day is
Friday, May 15th.
The workshop takes place at the Bellairs
Research Institute in Barbados. The institute, owned by McGill University, is only metres from
the beautiful west coast beaches of
the island.
Travel: Barbados is a safe place to travel. Bellairs is a 30 minute taxi drive from
Grantley Adams International Airport on the south-east of the
island.
Visas: Visitors from most countries do not require a visa to visit Barbados.
Nationals of some countries, e.g. Iran, do require a visa.
Visas can take three or four weeks to be issued so please apply early.

Accommodation: Lodging at Bellairs is spartan, usually two to a room, at a very modest
daily rate of $70 to $90 US per person. Rooms are of the level of student
dormitories. Do not expect the luxury of the incredibly expensive hotels on either side of
the institute.
Food: Dinner is provided for the entire group at an additional cost. We
tend to buy breakfast and lunch from local vendors.
Currency: US currency is freely accepted on the island at a fixed rate of 2 Barbadian dollars per US dollar
Family Policy: To avoid distractions during the workshop, we request that family members join
you either only the week before or only the week after the workshop, but not during the workshop.
