Second Announcement

0. VERY IMPORTANT! IF YOU INTEND TO GIVE A TALK BUT HAVE NOT YET
PRESENTED THE abstract, PLEASE SEND IT QUITE URGENTLY.
We don't accept any abstracts after JUNE 9.

ALSO, WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO CONFIRM THE EXACT DATES OF YOUR STAY
IN HOTEL.

1. LOCATION

The conference will be held at the Euler Institute (St. Petersburg,
Pesochnaya nab., 10). The place is near the river Malaya Nevka, at
equal distances (15-20 min. on foot) from the metro stations
"Petrogradskaya" and "Chernaya Rechka". Look at our metro scheme at

and find the mark "X" on the map at

2. ACCOMMODATION

For the participants who asked for this in the registration form, rooms
have been reserved at the hotels (for the foreign participants:) "Nord",
and "Sovtours", and (for CIS-participants:) on Vasilievsky Island and
"Nauka" (Pr. Engel'sa, 65). (see info at Web-site)


3. TRANSPORTATION

Please, give the details of your arrival (date, company, flight, scheduled
time, etc.) to mailto:novikova@pdmi.ras.ru, so that we could arrange a car
from the Euler Institute to pick you up at the "Pulkovo" international
airport. (Look for the poster "Euler International Mathematical
Institute"). PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SERVICE CANNOT BE ARRANGED UNLESS
YOU GIVE THE DETAILS OF YOUR ARRIVAL FEW DAYS BEFORE ARRIVAL.

Alternatively, you may take bus no. 13 at "Pulkovo" international
terminal, which will bring you to the metro station "Moskovskaya".
It takes about 30 minutes to reach
the stations "Petrogradskaya" or "Chernaya Rechka" (by a direct
train). From both stations you may take bus no. 1 or 46 or trolley-bus
no.34 that goes to Pesochnaya Naberezhnaya (two stops), or minibuses
no.46, 76, 252, 298, and 321 (you should ask to stop before the
Kamennoostrovskii most(bridge), 1km from the station).


4. REGISTRATION AND FEES

Registration desk will be open on June 27 at the Euler Institute
from 18:00 till 20:00, and June 28 from 9:00 till 10:00.
The registration fee (150 euro or 5200 rubles) and the visa
supporting invitation (15 euro or 520 rubles) have to be paid at
the registration desk in cash. If the Euler Institute provided
authorized invitation letters for accompanying persons,
an additional fee of 15 euro per person should be paid.



5. MEALS

Lunches (at about 13:30) will be served for the participants at the
restoran of the Hotel "Anderson" (15 min from the Euler Institute).
Banquet is planned to take place at the same restoran Thursday night.


6. Preliminary Program can be found on Web-site of the conference

http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/2005/mmp


There will be four 40-minute lectures from 10:00 to
13:00 in the morning, and four 40-minute lectures from 15:00 to
18:00 in the afternoon.

A video projector (beamer) is available.

7. MONEY

Euros and US dollars are exchanged by all exchange offices; however,
other currencies may cause some difficulties (bad rate or no bank to
exchange). Now the average rate is around 35.00 RBL for 1 euro
and 28.00 RBL for 1 USD. Personal and Traveller's checks,
as well as credit cards, are usually accepted at all major banks in the city.

Be sure TO AVOID exchanging your currency NEAR exchange offices.

8. WEATHER

The weather is variable. The average temperature in June is about 17 C.
So, usually it is about 20 C during the day. It may be rainy.

9. SOME PHONE NUMBERS

arrival, or in case of other difficulties:
