Housing and Fees

The Organizing Committee has been able to sign a contract with a hostel/dormitory and is able to provide accommodation at very favorable prices. However, the participants have to pay the whole sum in advance to the organizing committee. This fee includes accommodation and full board for the period July 9–28, as well as participation in all courses, participant symposia, panel discussions, student sessions. We will offer alternative possibilities for accommodation in single rooms in 2 and 3 star hotels at higher prices.

The meals for all participants will be together independently of the accommodation choice thus allowing for better social interactions and continuation of the discussions started in classes.
