Practical Information

Date and Place

The 26th CERN School of Computing will be held at the Hotel Oriente, Vico Equense, Italy, from Sunday, 29 August to Saturday, 11 September 2004.

 

Participation

The School is open to postgraduate students and research workers with a few years' experience in elementary particle physics, in computing or in related fields.  The number of participants will be limited to 80.  Applicants may come from CERN Member States as well as from countries that are not Member States of CERN.
 

Personal contacts and informal discussions among the participants during leisure time are an important aspect of the School.  For this reason, participants are asked to note that they should not be accompanied by family members or friends.

 

Accommodation
Hotel Address

Participants will be accommodated, with full board, in the Hotel Oriente, 100 metres from the beach, overlooking the sea.  All participants at the School will be lodged in comfortable double rooms with private bathrooms.

Tel: +39 081 8016714

Fax: +39 081 8017188

Language

The working language of the School will be English. There will be no simultaneous translation. Participants should therefore have sufficient understanding of English to enable them to benefit from the School.

 

Registration Participants should reach Vico Equense for registration during the afternoon or early evening of Sunday, 29 August.  Registration will take place at the Hotel Oriente.  You should note that lunch on the day of arrival is not provided. The School will end on the morning of Saturday, 11 September after breakfast.
 

Travel

Naples International Airport is the nearest international airport (1 hour via the motorway to Vico Equense).  There are direct flights into Naples from Paris, London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Munich and Brussels, in addition to national flights from Rome and Milan.  The train service from Rome is frequent, and the trip takes about two hours. 

Vico Equense is easily reached from Naples:  via the Ferrovia Circumvesuviana train (55 minutes) or by car (45 minutes) via the Naples ? Pompei ? Salerno motorway and then along the coast of the Sorrentine Peninsula.  There is also a comfortable bus service, Autolinea Curreri Viaggi, from Naples International Airport to Vico Equense. 


It is hoped to provide shuttle services both from/to Naples airport for those arriving on Sunday 29 August and leaving on Saturday 11 September. This service will be confirmed in due course.

 

Insurance

Participants should ensure that they are adequately insured for health and accidents for the duration of the School and during their travel, to cover sickness, accidents and medical repatriation.  CERN has no obligation in this regard and does not accept any responsibility for such coverage.
 

Cost and Method of
payment

The cost of the School per participant comprises three components:

  1. The Fees: 300 Euros

  2. The Living Expenses: 1100 Euros

  3. The Travel Expenses to and from the school location

The sum of the Fees plus the Living Expenses, that is 1400 Euros, should be paid to the account below prior to the school. This amount covers tuition, accommodation, full board and two daily coffee breaks at the Hotel Oriente, from dinner on Sunday, 29 August to breakfast on Saturday, 11 September 2004 and the use of the shuttle, if provided.  Some social activities, of which details will be given at a later time, will be organized at no extra cost.
