 ISSI and Europlanet will cover all local expenses for all participants. Participants are expected to cover their travel expenses.

While more details will be forthcoming, for those who wish to plan early: our secretary at ISSI, Ms. Fasler, will be handling travel and lodging logistics. She plans to book a block of rooms, paid by the organizers, at a nearby hotel within walking distance of ISSI and the main train station. These rooms will have private shower/toilet, phone, and TV. If you wish to make your own hotel arrangements, the organizers will reimburse you up to 130 CHF per night during the workshop, but only by wire transfer, not by check. For your information: the closest airport is the Bern/Belp airport (BRN), but unless there is a sale, it is quite expensive to fly into Bern from overseas. The Geneve (GVA) and Zürich (ZRH) airports are only 1.5 and about 1 hour, respectively, by train from Bern, and cost much less to fly into.

Please send your travel plans to Ms. Brigitte Fasler by 1 July 2007 so that she can book a room for you for the appropriate nights. Once you have sent your travel plans and Ms. Fasler has made your hotel reservations, she will send to you more details on hotel location, etc. If you have any questions concerning travel, hotel arrangements, or visa issues please contact Ms. Fasler (contact info provided above). ISSI-Europlanet will reimburse you for food through a per diem of 70 CHF per day. Again, you will be reimbursed only by wire transfer, not by check. Future circulars will include more information about travel and hotel arrangements, the Wednesday tourist expedition, the Thursday evening workshop dinner, and other logistics.
