RSSheffield

Next week I’m off to the RSS conference in Sheffield, where I’ll present our work on the Eurovision contest. I’m quite excited about going back to Sheffield, where some time in the last century, I’ve spent a semester as an Erasmus Exchange student. In fact, this will be the first time I’m back since then \(-\) I’ve spoken with a few friends who tell me that the city has changed so much in the last few years, so I’m curious to see what I’ll make of it.

I have fond memories of my experience and I’m very glad I’ve taken that opportunity (although at the time the exchange rate between Italian Lire and the Pound was 2 million to 1…). In particular, I’m glad I got to be at one of the last editions of the Pyjama Jump!
