POuL organizes for the third consecutive year a trip to Hamburg, for the Chaos Communication Congress (CCC).
CCC is the greatest hacker conference in Europe. During four days between Christmas and New Years Eve, thousands of hackers, technology freaks, artists and utopians get together in Hamburg to communicate, learn from each others, and party together. The focus will be on topics such as information technology, digital security, making and breaking, and engaging in creative, sceptical discourse on the interaction between technology and society.
You can find more information on Wikipedia or on the last year's event page. The majority of the talks will be in English (although some will be in German with a simultaneous translation in English).
We'll get there by plane on December 26th and we'll come back on December 31th. Politecnico will partially refund the trip with 150€/person, which will be subtracted from the 400€/person estimate for ticket, transport and accommodation. This means that for Politecnico students the final cost will be roughly 250€.
The refunding is available only for 30 Politecnico students - BSc, MSc and Ph.D (laurea triennale, magistrale o dottorato).
Also please keep in mind that the purpose of the trip is to take part to CCC and not to visit the city.
We'll allocate the available slots with a FIFO logic (first come, first served), so hurry up please.
Here's the link to the application form. The form will close on September 30th, at 23:59.
After that we'll send you an email with some additional details on transports and costs.
