Drinks at lunches and dinners
Waiters will bring non-sparkling mineral water to participants wearing their CSC badges. As CERN will be charged for the exact number of bottles, try and not re-order extra mineral water unnecessarily. Any other drink that would order will be at your own cost (see below: Extra Expenses).

Extra expenses
Any extra expenses including extra beverages, extra meals (e.g. during excursion for those not participating), telephone calls, mini-bar, laundry, room services, … will be a your own cost.

We advise you to pay directly in cash your extra expenses whenever possible. If instead you give your room number for payment at checkout time, be sure to write down your name and sign the bill. This also stands for the use of the minibar in your room. CERN will not arbitrate any conflict between two participants from the same room who would disagree on their respective expenses.

Problems / requests regarding the hotel
In case of general (non-trivial) problem / request / complain regarding the hotel, please contact me first and not the hotel.

Justification of travel expenses
We remind you that for the reimbursement of your travel expenses, you will be asked to provide me, School Administrator, with the justification documents (copy of the transportation tickets and/or invoice - only for 1 public transport, such as airplane, train, bus).
