The Organizing Committee has been able to sign contracts with a hotel and two student hostels/dormitories 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 13–25, as well as participation in all courses, participant symposia, panel discussions, student sessions. We have the following possibilities for accommodation all of them within walking distance from the School venue. Fees:

• 3 star hotel (single room) + full board + registration fee USD 555

• student hostels + full board + registration fee USD 358

The Organizing committee has some VERY limited possibilities for partial financial support of participants from Eastern and Central Europe. We strongly advise potential participants to look for other funding possibilities.
