GENERAL INFORMATION:

The Workshop will take place in Wroclaw during the week starting from May 28, 2007. Wroclaw is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Poland, located in southwestern Poland, upon the Odra river. It is the economical, cultural and intellectual capital of Lower Silesia.

The Workshop will take place at the small lecture room D at the Astronomical Institute of the Wroclaw Observatory, next to our Lab, at Kopernika 11 street.

Participants will be accommodated in the Rezydent complex A i B, within the walking distance (10-15 min) from the lecture room. The accommodation will be booked via the LOC of the Workshop.

The lunch can be organized for interested participants in the small cafe next to the Observatory. We need to know early morning (before 9:00) who will take the lunch there. The cost is ~6 EUR/person/day.
