I. REGISTRATION
If you intend to participate, we ask you to fill in the registration form as soon
as possible:
http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/2007/mfms/app.html
THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION IS MAY, the 1st, but we are asking
you to make it as soon as you can. The main reasons for this
deadline is a visa.
Registration fee:
it is 75 Euro (plus 15 Euro per accompany person in case we provide an official
invitation needed for visa formalities).
We expect to meet the participants at the Pulkovo airport and the railway stations.
We are planning to organize a common lunch every working day of the conference.
II. VISA
Non-Russian participants need a RUSSIAN VISA.
You can obtain a tourist visa in almost any tourist agency in your country.
However if you would like to have your visa invitation processed by the Euler Institute
(a document to be presented at a Russian Consulate), please read the instructions below.
There are two kinds of visas you may wish to apply for. A tourist
visa invitation is quicker to make. However, we heard that some
travel grants do not reimburse for tourist visas. In this case you
will definitely need a business visa. The Euler Institute will
provide you with an invitation which will be authorized by a
governmental department and will imply obtaining a visa nearly
automatically. However, the procedure of the invitation issue
could takes more than a month.
The registration form will give us all necessary information for the arrangement
of your visit. Please fill in ALL items, especially the PASSPORT DATA,
if you do need a Russian visa.
If you come with an accompanying person and she/he also need a visa
(is not a Russian citizen), we ask you to fill in the registration form for
every accompanying person.
If, besides the invitation described above, you need also one for the administration
of your institution, please, contact the Euler Institute Programme Coordinator
Mrs. Elena Novikova.
Such an invitation may be sent in few days.
When ready, the invitations will be sent to participants by fax and, if necessary,
by mail.
Now, please,
- Fill in the
registration form at
if you have not done it.
- Fill in the Visa Form.
- Upon receiving your
registration and visa form as well as the registration forms and
visa forms of your accompanying persons the Euler Institute
applies to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for your Invitation to
visit Russia.
- A month later (in case of a business visa) or a
week later (in case of a tourist visa) an invitation is issued.
-
We send you the invitation by fax (however we know that several
Russian Consulates accept only the original paper versions of the
invitation. In this case we post it to you).
- You go to the
Russian Consulate which you mentioned in your visa form and apply
for a Russian visa.
- You pay 15 Euro for visa invitation per
accompany person on your arrival.
III. ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation will be arranged at nearby
hotels (we shall do our best to arrange it at reasonably low
price). The Euler Mathematical Institute is located near the river
Malaya Nevka in a nice historical part of St. Petersburg.
June--July is a peak time of tourist season. To arrange your
accommodation as good as possible we will book the hotel rooms
beforehand. If you have some special requests (say, you prefer a
downtown hotel, you come with an accompanying person, etc), please
indicate it in the registration form. Most of the hotel prices for
foreign participants are in the range 70-120 EURO per night.
Please let us know (in the registration form) what price you can
afford. A cheap accommodation in a student hostel may also be
possible.
IV. ABSTRACTS
If you intend to give a talk, please send the
abstract to mfms2007@imi.ras.ru.
The Booklet of abstracts will be
available at the Conference. Deadline for abstract submission is
JUNE 1.
V. The conference will be held at the Euler Institute
(St. Petersburg, Pesochnaya nab., 10).
The place is near the river Malaya Nevka.
Transport information will be given in the Final Announcement.
We expect to meet the participants at the Pulkovo airport and the railway stations.
Please, inform Mrs. Novikova about the mean of transportation and your arrival time
as soon as this is available.
We hope to see you in St.Petersburg!
With best regards,
Valery Gritsenko
