INFORMATION for PROSPECTIVE PARTICIPANTS
-
Those wishing to participate should
fill in and return the registration form, not later than
31st March, 2007. Due to limitations of numbers we may not be able to
accept all registrations. Decisions about registrations, talks
and requests for financial support will be made by April 15th.
-
Participants should aim to arrive by 4th July, since the meeting will start in the morning on
the 5th. The meeting will continue until the middle or end of
the afternoon of 8th July. The conference dinner will
take place on Saturday, the 7th July.
-
From countries other than Germany,
the Netherlands and the UK, there are almost no international
direct flights to Faro Airport. Participants from abroad may fly
to Lisbon and catch a domestic connecting flight (30 minutes) or
take a train (3 hours) to Faro.
-
Due to the limitations of the budget
it is unlikely that financial support will be available except
for the invited speakers and some students.
HOTEL INFORMATION
The booking and payment of hotel rooms are entirely handled by the
Portuguese travel agency Abreu and the organizing committee takes no
responsibility for either the reservations or the services of the
hotels or the respective payments. Click

to electronically book a hotel room. On Thursday 5th and Friday 6th
participants have to use regular buses or taxis to travel from
their hotels to the university campus (called Campus de Gambelas). On Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th we have organized a
free shuttle service which will pick up participants from their
hotels in Faro in the morning and take them to the university, and
the same shuttle will bring them back in the late afternoon.
TRANSPORT FROM THE AIRPORT TO FARO:
Some of the hotels have shuttles to pick up their guests from the
airport. These shuttles and the costs involved are mentioned on the
hotel page managed by the travel agency Abreu. Other than that there are two ways to get to Faro from the
airport: taxi or bus. A taxi should cost approximately 10 euros and
take about 10 minutes. The bus is cheaper, but might take a little
longer and won’t drop you off in front of your hotel.
