A shuttle bus will be running daily between the hotel and the Institute in the morning, in the evening, and at lunch time. It is our pleasure to offer discount prices for the duration of the Conference. Depending on the chosen option, the discount price ranges from Euro 140 to 230. For example, the Comfort option is Euro 140 - 155 per night [ more ] participation fee    The reduced conference fee is Euro 300 for a participant and Euro 150 for each accompanying person if payed no later than 30 April, 2012. As of 1 May, the fee is Euro 360 for a participant and Euro 180 for an accompanying person. The fee covers a welcome party, the banquet, coffee breaks, and other organizational costs, plus transportation from and to the airport social program    The Organizing Committee is planning to organize an excursion (free of charge) and a concert for all participants and accompanying persons: 30.05, Wednesday (after lunch), Bus tour of Moscow historic places (departure from the hotel "Korston"); 30.05, Wednesday 19.00, Concert (classical music) (Lebedev Inst.) Additional details will be announced upon registration. Cultural program for accompanying persons: While registration time at Korston (May 26, 27) we expect that there will be a representative from Triumff Service company who will assist with arranging your excursion program public lectures    In conjunction with the Ginzburg Conference on Physics being held in the Lebedev Institute, there will be free public lectures, which should be of interest to a general scientific audience and to many members of the general public. Public lectures will be held on Saturday, June 2, 2012, at 16.00. They are open to everyone and admission is free. Lecturers: Herman Verlinde (Princeton Univ.)
