Participants and invitations

 

About 50 participants have already registered for the workshop.

If you need a formal invitation for some reasons (visa, etc.), please let us know as soon as possible, together with all important information and addresses. The Banach Center will send you the invitation via ordinary post.

 

 

***********************************************************************************

 

Accommodation, fees, and support

 

Participants will be lodged at the Mathematical Research and Conference Center of the Mathematical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences. You will find there completely equipped conference halls and Internet connection (computers and wireless connection), a 19th century palace, new hotel, and large park at your disposal.

The conference fee will amount 1200 PLN (standard price and the price for accompanying persons) paid upon the arrival in Będlewo.

We will accept also payments in Euro which will amount 330 EUR paid preferably also upon the arrival or (in individual cases) on the account of the Institute of Mathematics, Polish Academy of Sciences:

KOS SWIFTH BPHKPLPK
PL 11 1060 0076 0000 3210 0010 6203

Reduced fees have been offered individually due to the decisions of the Organizing and Scientific Committees.

The fee will cover the accommodation, living expenses, conference materials, bonfire, conference dinner, and  excursion. We would prefer to collect the fees in Polish Zlotys. There is no problem to exchange any currency in banks or Kantors.

We would also like to draw your attention that, comparing to the Workshop in 2004, Euro (EUR) got weaker with respect to Polish Zloty (PLN) that caused the slight changes in the costs of our conference calculated in EUR. Today’s rate is about 1 EUR= 3.75 PLN.

You can reach Poznań by plain or train: from Warsaw or Berlin. For train schedules you can also see the web page of the Polish State Railways <http://rozklad.pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/en?> or Deutsche Bahn <http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en>.

 

From Poznań one can reach Będlewo

·         by taxi;

·         by train to Mosina and then by taxi to the Conference Center at Będlewo (approx. 9 km, price ≈50 PLN ≈10-12 EUR)

·         by train to Stęszew, then by bus to the stop "Będlewo Skrzyżowanie" (2.5 km to the west of the palace, on the crossing of the roads).

 

We will try to organize a transportation from the Poznań airport on Sunday, August 19. Therefore we kindly request to send us the details of your trip in order to fix an appropriate schedule.

Bus to Olomouc

 

We will try to organize a bus to Olomouc that can carry persons willing to attend the conference DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY AND ITS APPLICATIONS in Olomouc, Czech Republic, just after the XXIInd Workshop. Eight persons expressed their will to use this bus. The price for the whole bus will be approximately 300 EUR, so the price for one person should not exceed 40 EUR (if really 8 persons will go).
