*Note:
The workshop WIDEN-ITC starts September 10th at 9:30 (CET, GMT+2:00). Also, there will be a live chat room available for all online participants.
-The evening session will include a series of interactive tutorials on how to use AFFINImeter-ITC where all participants will have the chance to familiarize and practice with the software. In order to have access to AFFINImeter you will need to create a user account in http://www.affinimeter.com/app/index.php/auth/register.
-We strongly encourage you to get the AFFINImeter user account today, before the start of the workshop, to avoid last minute rush.
-With the user account you can start trying some of the functionalities of AFFINImeter and get familiarized with it before the workshop.
-If you are already a beta tester you don't need to open a new AFFINImeter account. Use your current username and password.
-Finally, on-site participants should bring their own labtops to the conference room. Please make sure the labtop´s battery is fully charged for the evening session (individual electrical outlets are not guaranteed).
