Travel and Local Information

Warning on possible lodging scam

Some participants of previous conferences held at Euler Institute told us that they were approached by telephone by people from Business Travel Management and other companies purporting to help with the booking of accommodation and requesting the credit card information. This is a scam, you should not give them any valuable personal information. The organizing committee has no relation whatsoever with Business Travel Management. No one from the organizers is going to ask for your credit card information especially since we do not need it: in order to book the hotel we need only your name, and if we are going to cover you accommodation expenses then we will pay directly to the hotel.

Visa Information

On the EIMI website you can find out whether you need a Russian visa, current requirements for your passport to get it, the relevant type of the invitation and further useful information. Note that the application for a Russian visa can take a while, so we recommend to start it well in advance.

If you have additional queries please contact the organizers mispb2019@gmail.com
