16. Some novelties in the program: looking beyond Diffraction
general overview talks about
LHC experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS)
and recent progress in the theoretical predictions for LHC
2) casting an eye on future colliders

17. Some practical information
Common location for coffee breaks,
lunches and dinners (see timetable for timing)
Lunch/dinner tickets for “externals”
Internet: WiFi “Santa Tecla Free Wi-Fi”
(no password, just registration)
Speakers:
talk upload through Indico or by memory stick
well ahead of the scheduled time
2) signature on the copyright transfer

18. The official flag of Sicily
Our logo
Idea and realization:
Ada and Marcella,
Guido Dallago
Triskele or Triskelion (= three legs) with gorgonèion in a coin from Siracusa at the time of Agatocle (III century BC)
Celebrative coin dedicated to Marco Claudio Marcello (I century BC) after the conquest of Sicily
