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

Please, give the details of your arrival (company, flight, scheduled time, etc.) to Mrs. Novikova, so that we could arrange a car from the Euler Institute to pick you up at the "Pulkovo" international or domestic airport. Alternatively, you may take the bus no.13 at "Pulkovo" international terminal, or bus no.39 at the domestic terminal, which will bring you to the metro station "Moskovskaya". It takes about 30 minutes to reach the stations "Petrogradskaya" and "Chernaya Rechka" (by a direct train). From both stations you may take the bus no.25, which circulates between these two metro stations and has a stop near the hotel "Dvorets Molodezhi". NIS-participants who come by train may easily use the metro - every railway station has a nearby metro station.

Registration desk will work at the reception of the "Dvorets Molodezhi" on June 17 from 8:45 to 9:00. Then we hope to propose a breakfest to all participants. The conference will open at 10:00. The participants who plan to arrive later may register during the breaks. There will be no registration fee.

Breakfasts (at 9:15), lunches (at 13:30) and dinners (at about 18:00) will be served for the participants in the canteen of the "Statistical Office" (a bilding on a half-way between the hotel and the Euler Institute). Also, coffee and tea will be available at the Euler Institute (free of charge).

There will be, presumably, three 45-minutes lectures from 10:00 to 13:00 in the morning, and several 25-minutes talks from 15:00 to 18:00 in the afternoon (except Friday afternoon June 19).

A bus excursion a suburb tsar residence is scheduled for Friday afternoon (June 19). The rent of a bus will be paid by the organisers, but not the tickets to the park and the palace.

US dollars, German marks, and Finnish marks are exchanged by all the exchange offices; however other currencies may cause some difficulties (bad rate or no bank to exchange). Now the average rate is 6.15 RBL for 1 USD. Payment by credit cards is possible at some places, but it is safer not to rely on this too much.

The wheather is variable. Average temperature of June is about 15C. So, ususally it is about 20C during the day. It may be rainy.
