Social events

Welcome party

The AiML+RAMiCS 2024 Welcome Party will take place on Monday 19 August at 19:00 at the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Jilská 352/1, Prague 1. The party will take place on the ground floor, in the courtyard of the Institute, which can be reached by turning right immediately after passing the reception desk.

The Institute of Philosophy is a 10-minute walk from the conference venue. The nearest metro stations are "Národní třída" (line B, "yellow") and "Můstek" (lines A and B, "green" and "yellow" respectively).

Light vegan snacks, Czech craft beer and wine and a selection of soft drinks will be served. You may wish to supplement these refreshments with a proper dinner afterwards.

Conference dinner

The AiML+RAMiCS 2024 Conference Dinner will take place on Thursday 22 August from 19:30 till roughly 23:00 in Pavilon Grébovka, located in the Havlíček Gardens park.

The nearest metro station is "Náměstí míru" (line A, "green") from which it takes about 15 minutes to reach Pavilon Grébovka by foot. Alternatively, you can take a tram to the "Krymská" stop from where it is an 8 minute walk.

Buffet dinner including barbecue. The park closes at midnight.

Excursions

Organised excursions will take place in the afternoon of Wednesday 21 August. The excursions are free of charge for registered conference participants, but we do require participants to register for an excursion option if they wish to attend. The number of participants per excursion is limited and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration for excursions closes at noon on Monday 19 August. Details of excursions and registration will be sent by email. Please note that some excursions will include optional activities not covered by the conference and we will need participants to indicate if they wish to partake.

Please note that the tours of Vyšehrad and Klementinum are guided and the tour of Strahov Abbey is self-guided. The tour of Strahov Abbey begins with a tram ride from the city centre, which requires a 30-minute basic ticket (not included in the conference fee). The tour of the Klementinum includes a climb up a narrow and steep spiral staircase to the Astronomical Tower.

The excursions are optional. Additional information about the excursions and our suggestions for other individual activities for those who do not wish to participate in the group excursions can be found here.

Vyšehrad

Vyšehrad, a historic fort perched on the Vltava River's east bank, is a captivating slice of Prague's past. Once the seat of Bohemian kings, this ancient fortress now houses the stunning Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, a tranquil park, and the prestigious Vyšehrad Cemetery where many Czech luminaries find their final resting place.

Klementinum

The Klementinum is the second largest complex of buildings in Prague after Prague Castle and is now the seat of the National Library of the Czech Republic. The tour takes place in part of the former Jesuit College, the Baroque Library, the most beautiful of the Klementinum's halls, the Meridian Hall with its historical astronomical instruments and the Astronomical Tower. The tour also includes a visit to the Mirror Chapel and the Old Mathematical Hall.

Find out more here.

Strahov Abbey

Strahov Abbey, a majestic Premonstratensian monastery perched on Prague's Petrin Hill, is a treasure trove of history and culture. Founded in 1143, it boasts stunning Baroque architecture, including the world-renowned Philosophical and Theological Halls, adorned with intricate frescoes and housing an impressive collection of ancient books. Visitors can explore its serene gardens, visit the Basilica, and even sample the monastery's own brewed beer.
