2. Australian/New Zealander scientists/professionals are considered as NATO "nationals" (Australia and New Zealand are NATO friend countries). As such, they may participate but their related costs cannot be paid from the NATO grant. However, we are applying for additional funding from other agencies and they might have fewer restrictions on the country of origin of participants.

6. We haven't arranged transportation from/to airport yet as this will depend on when people arrive/leave. In due time, we'll ask everyone when they arrive and plan transportation accordingly. As there are not many flights to Brindisi, we expect many people to arrive at around the same time.
