It is, however, somewhat strange to list this as a workshop benefit: usually the reviewing is over before the question of attending arises. Or are you reviewing the authenticity of the Euro bills? I am sure that you have lots of impressive onhand experience in handling those. > the workshop program, a book of abstracts, a CD with full papers, > coffee/tea in the morning, a small working lunch in the early > afternoon, and nothing else.
