Mathematics and Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the
National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine together with Institut de Mathematiques de
Luminy and Universite de Tours, France
and will be partially sponsored by the INTAS OPEN-97 grant 1843 and INTAS Monitoring Conference Grants, Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Ministry of Sciences and Technologies of Ukraine, Center for DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS at Penn State University(US), European Science Foundation - PRODYN, European Mathematical Society, CRDF - Ukrainian-U.S. Scientific Workshop Grants ( a joint program with the National Science Foundation)(US), ProMathematica (France)

We offer a few different types of accommodation in Katsiveli. All prices below include meals in a restaurant located in the summer residence. If a participant prefers to have his/her meals in another place then these prices will be reduced: (i) single room - 50 USD per day (including meals) (ii) the room shared with another participant - 25 USD per day (including meals). If you would like to find a cheaper lodging, the organizing
committee will help you with accommodation in other hotels and private
apartments. Nevertheless all participants will be able to
The organizers will publish the proceedings of the meeting and/or the notes of the mini-courses with one of the leading mathematical publishers. Presently we are in communication with two of them. The final decision will be taken in a few weeks.
The participants from the countries of the former Soviet Union can easily get to Simferopol (one of the biggest Crimean cities) by train or by plane. For other participants we would suggest to take a direct flight to Simferopol (from Germany, Israel, Turkey). If you are unable to find a convenient flight from your country to Simferopol, you may arrive first to Kiev (the Borispol airport). In this case we are ready to help with reservation of return tickets for regular flights between Kiev and Simferopol. Depending on the number of participants coming first to Kiev, we can organize a charter flight to Simferopol and back to Kiev (we expect that the price will be around $150 per person). The organizers intend to meet participants of the meeting at the railway station and the airport of Simferopol and then bring them to Katsiveli. We will give the details in the third announcement that will be sent out at the end of July. All information can also be found on the web page of the meeting http://www.imath.kiev.ua/~skolyada/kats2000.html . To help us to provide this service, please let us know the date and time of your arrival to Simferopol or to Kiev as soon as possible. For it make an online registration here http://www.imath.kiev.ua/~skolyada/regis.html and/or inform us by e-mail The payment for the return trip between Simferopol and Katsiveli is 20 USD and is included into the fee. The fee will be reduced for this sum if a participant comes to Katsiveli without our help. As it was planned earlier, we will meet all participants at Simferopol rail station and airports. At the airports, a representative of the organizing committee will be waiting for you nearby the entrance to the international section keeping a poster with the well known abbreviation "Katsiveli - 2000". It will be impossible to miss each other. At the rail station of Simferopol you will be met at the center of platform 1 nearby the right corner of the main building (watch for the same poster). To help us, please be sure that you informed us about the exact time of your arrival. For a participant who is well-informed about Crimea, it is not a problem to reach Katsiveli by himself (herself)..
The fee is 100 USD for each participant (and 60 USD for a participant who is not going to take part in the receptions). This fee will be used for: (1) the round trip from Simferopol to Katsiveli; (2) two receptions during the meeting; (3) preparing materials of the meeting; (4) access to Internet. The Organizing Committee expects that all participants will pay the
fee before July 1, 2000. Please transfer your payment
If you cannot pay the fee by this date but is going to
come to Katsiveli, please contact the Committee to allow us to make the
reservation.
The registration and all other payments will take place in the summer residence on the evening of August, 20 and morning of August, 21. The easiest way (for the organizers and participants) to pay for the living expenses and conference fee is to bring cash (US dollars only) in your hands. In order to get cash in Ukrainian banks, one can use either travel checks (American Express, Thomas Cook) or credit cards (Visa, MasterCard). Please be aware that in this case we will have to organize your trip to the nearest bank to Alupka or Yalta because Katsiveli is a very small town and there is no bank branch in Katsiveli. Personal checks are not accepted. If you wish to convert a currency to Ukrainian hryvnya, please remember that only US dollars and German marks are accepted by every currency exchange bureau (even in Katsiveli). To convert other hard currencies, someone needs to visit a bank branch in Yalta.
As far as we know, all travels to Ukraine (except several countries of Eastern Europe and the former SU) need to have a visa to enter to Ukraine. For getting such a visa, please apply to the nearest Ukrainian Embassy or Consulate in your country. According to information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, there are quite new rules for getting a Ukrainian visa. If you are a citizen of the USA, Canada or a country of Western Europe and you are going to attend a conference in Ukraine, then you do not need to have an official invitation. Nevertheless if you wish to receive an official invitation of the Organizing Committee, please let us know it as soon as possible. We will be glad to answer any your questions.
We would recommend to take part in excursions planned by the organizing committee. Please let us know which excursions are the most attractive for you. . The weather in Crimea in August is dry and warm with daily temperature around 30 C. Don't forget your swimming suit (the hotel is approximately 100 meters from the sea).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sergiy Kolyada skolyada@imath.kiev.ua |
