All plenary speakers, symposia speakers as well as organizers, and also the members of the scientific and organizing committees are offered free accommodation in the guest houses of IISER Pune and SPPU (possibly in shared rooms) for the duration of the conference (Sunday, 11 January 2026 to Saturday, 17 January 2026). Guest house accommodation for other participants may not be possible, except perhaps in exceptional circumstances (e.g., persons with disabilities). We request all other participants as well as invitees desirous of an alternative accommodation to kindly make their own arrangements. A list of some hotels that are relatively close to the venue of the conference is provided below for your convenience. Booking may be done directly with the hotel or using your favourite travel website. In case you are not offered free accommodation and you believe you should be considered for guest house accommodation (on payment basis) in the exceptional category, please write to the organizers at: emstmc2026@gmail.com.Â
