There is no need to register.  Tea and coffee will be provided.
Lunch is not organised, but there is a cafetaria in the CWI
building and another one at the UvA building across the street.

The TCSA Day is intended to be an annual event, taking place
in the Fall, to alternate with the national NVTI Theory Day
that takes place in Spring.
Last year's edition took place at the VU:

The event is organized jointly by CWI, UvA, and VU.
Its Steering Committee consists of
     Jan Bergstra (UvA)
     Wan Fokkink (VU)
     Harry Buhrman (CWI)
