Question: Likely timing for meetings in Vienna?

Hi Andrew,
sorry, I just noticed that I hadn't sent out the details yet, so here
they are:
- Timing:
The meeting will run from Wed. noon until Fri noon, i.e. 2 full days
spread over three. (Which shouldn't keep you from arriving a day early
to settle in and enjoy vienna - I am sure we can fill any free time you
might have somehow, be it with meetings or otherwise :-)
- Venue:
The meeting will be held in the the main building of the Technical
University of Vienna, at Karlsplatz 13 (metro station Karlsplatz, metro
lines U1, U2, U4, so easily reachable from virtually all directions. The
meeting will take place in the "Festsaal", detailed location info is
available in the attached PDF document. This is right in the city
center, about 10mins walk to the Opera, Musikverein, Konzerthaus,
Theater an der Wien, etc.
- Hotels:
There are a number of hotels in the vicinity where TU Wien has
negotiated preferential rates for events at TU Wien, see the atached
list. But basically any hotel that's near to a metro station (or
anywhere surrounding the Karlsplatz area, Vienna is a pretty small,
walkable city) is fine.
- Arrival:
Vienna International Airport is approx. 20 minutes to the east of the
city. Getting downtown is usually pretty straightforward, either via the
Airport Express Train (CAT, 16 mins), the slightly slower but cheaper
regular train S7 (20 mins), both of which will take you to the metro
stop in Landstraße-Wien Mitte (U3, U4), or by an express train to the
cenral railway station Hauptbahnhof (17mins, U1), as well a several bus
lines. There are also several pre-booked taxi services, the biggest
company at the airport is Airportdriver https://www.airportdriver.at/en
fixed price of 33EUR to any place within Vienna, pre-book at least
24hours before arrival.
More detailed arrival info and links are avilable at the TU Wine
homepage at
https://www.tuwien.ac.at/en/contactsearch/visit_us_travelling_information/
If there is any additional information that any of you needs, please let
me know!
Looking forward to welcoming you in Vienna!

Hi Andi,

Are there any updates on the agenda? I might have missed communications on this.

Kind regards,

Dimitris

Hello Dimitris and all,
The schedule for the Chairs meeting is Wednesday 13 June at noon until Friday at noon. I’ve heard a proposal to add an optional Friday afternoon working session for whomever can stay, but I haven’t confirmed this yet. I’ve copied the logistics information from Andi below with additional details on venue, hotels, etc.
In taking on Larry’s role for the Chairs meeting, I am working on a draft agenda with the plan to put up a strawman for the group to discuss soon. The main component at the moment is to advance the group coordination ideas from the Gaithersburg mtg in January (group metadata, group categorization, and activity roadmapping). Any initial feedback is very welcome! If there is interest in a preliminary conversation about the agenda, we could create a small organizing committee.
I hope this answers your question. I hope to have more information out to you all soon.

Lynn,
Thanks for doing this! I hope there is room on the agenda to present our
results of the survey for Mapping the RDA groups. We are getting a good
response to the survey and it would be a really good opportunity to present
the results.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Many thanks Lynn,
I hope you could also squeeze an update from the Disciplinary Collaboration
Framework work. Is always a great opportunity to discuss the issues around
disciplinary groups in the co-chairs meetings.
I will only be able to make Thursday and Friday (14-15 June), as I will be
in another meeting on the 13th.
Kind regards,
Dimitris
