Change of room: Palaver (in Dipoli-ground floor)

By Fotis Karagiannis

Dear all,
An important update: The OA meeting has to move to another room (as I check and the assigned room was not big enough). The new room is Palaver.
This is located on the ground floor of Dipoli; you have to pass through the cloak area and then you will see the Palaver sign.
Best wishes,
Fotis
