Climate

Lisbon/Caparica has a Mediterranean climate that is strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream, giving it one of the mildest climates in Europe. Summer lasts until the end of September and the weather during this period is therefore pleasantly warm. Average temperatures: 17 – 26°C (62 – 79°F). Light clothing is suitable with somewhat warmer clothing for the evening.

Currency

Summer School

Summer Course on PDE-Constrained Optimization

Summer Course on Sparse Optimization and Applications to Information Processing

There are no additional fees for the Summer Courses. The Summer School Dinner, however, is only free for participants who are graduate students and attend both courses.

Travel Information

Travel to and within Lisbon

Lisbon is easy to get to. It is a short flight away from most European cities, and is just as easily accessible by road, railway or sea. 
Lisbon International Airport, 7 km from the city centre, has daily flights to and from the major cities in Europe and the world. The Portuguese airline TAP-Air Portugal, as well as major international airlines, fly to and from Lisbon.
