Accomodation Participants of the conference will be accomodated in the Lazurny pansion, the former recreation center for cosmonauts. It is located just 10 meters from the seashore. The prices per person are listed below:
Note that the number of Apartments is very limited. Please, make reservations in advance. Unfortunately, there are no single rooms in Lazurny pansion, so please team up for a double or triple room. Registration fee The registration fee is 200 UAH for participants from Ukraine and 75 USD for foreign participants. It can be paid in cash at the redistration desk. Financial support Undergraduate and postgraduate students can apply for the financial support in the form of free accomodation (triple rooms only) and clearing of the registration fee. The recipients of the support will be appointed by the Organizing Committee. The applicants will be asked to present some proof of their status (student's ID or an inquiry from the University/Institute). Note that if you do not inform the Organizing Committee about your status and intention to apply for the support in due time, you will not get the support. Other useful information As of now, citizens of EU countries, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, USA, Canada, Japan and most ex-USSR countries do not need a visa to stay in Ukraine for less than 90 days. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers cancelling the visaless policy with respect to the EU. We will monitor this situation and keep you informed about any changes. You can see the current official exchange rate at the website of The National Bank of Ukraine. Note that the actual exchange rates are normally higher (you get more UAH for 1 USD or 1 EUR than listed). Due to the financial crisis, it is difficult to say what the rates will be in September, so be sure to check them from time to time.
