October 10-12 : 2nd retreat in Dordrech

First things first: A tribute to WP1 and its fearless leader:

Imagine a scientist, with her, or his, butterfly net. Yet these are not butterflies she or he is afterHe, she, is (gracefully) hunting down climate-centered narratives – as elusive and beautiful as the rarest of butterflies. And no, he or she will NOT pin them down. She, he,will look at them as they deploy, live, change, and exist. By observing these, with the help of an international interdisciplinary team, he, she,will identify the fabric of local communities’ weatherworlds. And from these weatherworlds the whole team will infer the needs for climate services – current and future.

Hotel Dordrecht (Achterhakkers 72, 3311 JA Dordrecht, Netherlands)

http://www.hoteldordrecht.nl/eng/index.html 3-star, fairly small hotel, near city centre, has bar and breakfast restaurant, but no dinner

► Travel

From Schiphol Amsterdam Airport: Intercity train directly to Dordrecht: track 56 intercity to Dordrecht, every h:12 and h:22. Takes about 1:10 hours.  With Intercity Direct (high speed train; requires special surcharge!) to Rotterdam Central and change to Dordrecht there. (This is 10-20 min faster).

Coming with the Thalys from Paris/Brussels/Antwerp: Leave Thalys at Rotterdam Central, take either the Intercity or Sprinter from track 6 or 7 (7x per hour; Sprinters stop more frequently). Takes resp. 15-16 or 23 min.

From Dordrecht station, the city centre and hotels are within walking distance.

It’s usually easiest to buy the tickets online and print them (saves you the hassle of buying OV-chip passes / day tickets at the airport or train station). Via: https://www.ns.nl/en
