VENUE

The workshop will take place at the University of Warsaw Main Campus.   On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday the workshop site will be the Tyszkiewicz Palace ("sala balowa" room) and on Wednesday and Thursday it will be the University Library Building (room 256).  Most of the workshop participants will be staying in Bristol Hotel. 

The banquet on Tuesday will be held at the Qchnia Artystyczna restaurant in the Ujazdów Castle.




DIRECTIONS

Getting to the Bristol Hotel:
  • PLANE: The Warsaw Chopin Airport (the only airport in Warsaw) is relatively close to the city center.   The simplest way to get from the Chopin Airport to the Bristol Hotel is to take a taxi (take it from the official taxi stand).  Alternatively you can take the 175 bus.

  • TRAIN: Get off the train at the Warszawa Centralna Station and then take a taxi.  One of the "official" taxi stands (the "ELE taxi") is located here.  You can also take public transportation, or even walk. 

Getting to the conference site from the Bristol Hotel:
  • welcome reception on Sunday: map,
  • talks on Monday and Tuesday: map,
  • talks on Wednesday and Thursday: map.
The transportaition from the Bristol Hotel to the banquet on Tuesday will be provided by the organizers.

      LOCAL INFORMATION
      • Poland's basic travel information 
      • money: Polish currency is zloty (PLN).  Euros are generally not accepted.  The best method of getting zloty is to withdraw it from an ATM. Avoid converting larger sums at the exchange offices at the airport as they usually offer a bad rate.
      • Warsaw tourist guide including a set of brochures
      • public transportation in Warsaw: tickets and route planner
      • Veturilo --- a public bicycle sharing system in Warsaw
      • weather: climate information, forecast
      • Internet: the University of Warsaw provides free wireless internet  (in selected buildings) for users with an eduroam account.  The city of Warsaw provides free wireless internet in some parts of the historical center (which is where the workshop will take place).  A simple way to get cheap internet on your moble device is to buy a prepaid card (e.g. the Orange Free card)


      REGISTRATION

      If you want to participate in the workshop please register here by 21.05.2013.  The registration is free, but the number of places is limited.
