The Organizing Committee recommends the Korston Hotel Moscow****.
The hotel is located within walking distance (10 to 15 minutes) from the Lebedev Institute.

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 110 to 140. For example, the Comfort Single option is Euro 110 - 120 per night.

Precise prices (fixed in Russian Roubles), details on two types of payment, and selection of a particular accommodation option are available in the Accommodation block of your Personal Account by pressing the "UpdateAccommodation" button.

Please make your final decision concerning the accommodation in the Korston Hotel no later than April, 15. The discount prices apply if the payment is made no later than March, 30.

In case you prefer finding an accommodation in Moscow by yourself, please choose "No" in front of the correspondent question ("Do you need accommodation in Moscow? ").
However, an additional reason why we recommend the Korston hotel is that this simplifies the visa support routine.

For participants with Russian affiliation, there is an opportunity to stay in the Hotel "Akademicheskaya". In case you prefer to stay in "Akademicheskaya," please choose this option in the Accomodation block of your Personal Account. Precise prices will be communicated by e-mail after you choose and save this option.
 

To facilitate the organization of the conference, please provide the arrival/departure information in the relevant block of your Personal Account.

By default, the transfer to/from the airport is left to your responsibility; the relevant logistics is relatively easy, and airport-specific suggestions and guidance will appear on the conference site later.

As another option, transfer between the airport and the hotel on your arrival and departure is provided by our partners "TRIUMFF service" at an additional cost. To use it, please choose the corresponding option in the "ConferenceFeeDetails" section of your Personal Account.
 

The estimated time of a talk will be 20 to 30 minutes, but the actual schedule may vary in different sections. There will be a very limited number of 40-min plenary talks for general audience in theoretical physics.

We also plan to publish abstracts of the talks as a booklet before the conference and make it available to the participants. The size of an abstract should be 5-15 lines (in no case exceeding 25 lines). Please submit definitive TITLE and ABSTRACT of your talk via the Title/Abstract block of your Personal Account.
