LOCATION
The first part of the conference will take place in Prague,
the capital of the Czech Republic, the "hundred towered" or
"golden" city on the Vltava river (Moldau). The site of the
conference will be the historical building of Charles
University (founded in 1348 as the oldest University to the
North of Alps and to the East of Paris) in the heart of the
Old Town. The second part of the conference will be located
in the most fashionable "fin de siecle" hotel in Karlovy
Vary (Carlsbad), a pleasant Czech spa about 130 km to the
North of Prague, famous for its hot water springs, original
crystal glass and procelain, and a special herb liqueur
called "Becherovka".
 
ARRANGEMENTS
The conference fee of USD 140 includes a copy of the proceedings
and bus transport from Prague to  Karlovy Vary and back. (We are
sorry to make the conference fee slightly higher than announced in
the first call,  which is due to the lower exchange rate of the USD.)
 
A standard package is offered including accommodation in Prague
in hotel Krystal, 30 minutes from the centre of the Old Town
(3 nights) and in Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary (2 nights);
breakfasts and lunches for 4 days; a dinner, and the conference
banquet in Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary. This arrangement costs
310 USD for single occupancy and 230 USD for shared occupancy.
 
We can also arrange for an accommodation in Prague in a more
centrally located hotel, but the additional cost would be at
least 80-100 USD per night (for single occupancy) - Prague is a
touristic centre and September is still high touristic season.
Hotel Krystal is a reasonable hotel, and the city transportation is
quite comfortable, clean and fast (the centre of the city can be
reached from the hotel by tram and subway).
 
Arrivals and departures: arrival date at Prague Tuesday, September 19;
conference programme in Prague Wednesday-Thursday, September 20-21;
departure for Karlovy Vary September 21 late afternoon; conference
programme in Karlovy Vary Friday-Saturday, September 22-23; departure
for Prague Saturday September 23 after lunch.
Note that stay overnight in Prague in hotel Krystal till Sunday is
included in the standard package.
