SEK385Dear Postdoc community,
We are back with the most exciting event of the year; the Umeå Postdoc Society is happy to invite you to our third Postdoc Retreat on November 23rd-24th!
The 2-day retreat will be held in Hotell Lappland, Lycksele, by the shore of the Ume River, and is aimed at networking among all postdocs currently employed at UmU or SLU in Umeå!
We will meet at the hotel on Saturday (November 23rd) for lunch, with the official program starting at 14:30 and ending on Sunday (November 24th) afternoon. All costs, including the lunches on Saturday and Sunday, and the overnight stay at the hotel will be covered by UPS, except for the transportation to and from Lycksele. You can get to Lycksele by bus, or with your own car of course.
Please read the details below and the attached program and flyer. Registration for this event is mandatory and binding, as the number of participants is limited and payment to the hotel must be made in advance.

- Deadline for registration: 31st October

How to get to and from Lycksele with public transport:
- Bus 31 connects Umeå and Lycksele. On Saturday morning, there is a bus from Umeå Hospital at 10.45 hs, or 10.55 hs from Umeå Bus Station. This bus arrives at Lycksele at 12.55 hs.
- For coming back on Sunday there are two options: 12.30 hs (arriving at Umeå at 14.30 hs), or 18.45 hs (arriving at Umeå at 20.45 hs). Those who leave at 12.30 hs will not have the opportunity to visit the Forestry and Sami Museum and the Gammplatsen Historical Park and Nature Reserve. There is an item in the registration form for this, so that we know the number of people to tell the museum.
- A single fare ticket costs 194 SEK, so the total to go to and from Lycksele would be 388 SEK per person. This is the only cost in the whole retreat that has to be paid by the participants. You can buy the ticket on the tabussen.nu app, or by card in the bus.
