The day after the main conference, on June 22, the organization committee offers an excursion to Utøya, the main site of the terrorist attacks in Oslo on 22 July, 2011. Sixty-eight (mostly) youths were killed and many more wounded by a lone right-wing terrorist.
The excursion to Utøya is optional, and will include presentations from survivors, police officers, and researchers on the 22 July attack.
Note that this excursion is not part of the main program of the conference, and thus is not covered by the conference fee, and an additional cost of 1000,- NOK will be added for those who chose this option.
