We are working toward finalizing the program for next weeks. A very preliminary draft is already available on the Workshop website and the content for each session is still in construction by the program committee. Delegates wishing to contribute should decide which session they think would include their subject and should contact the appropriate chairperson in some weeks (new circular will be issued to announce final program and chairs). Please note that the program and timetable on the website are not complete but a preliminary indication of the topics and social events are available - the site will be updated on a regular basis as details become finalized, don´t hesitate to question us.. I would like to invite you all to register by visiting our website http://www.obs-azur.fr/gemini/ecoles_colloq/colloques/ilrs2007/ -A deadline for registration has been set as 31st August 2007. After this date it should still be possible to register some delegates but hotel accommodations cannot be guaranteed. For Workshop registration, payments will be made in cash directly to the conference center on Tuesday September 25th morning . -Concerning accommodations, as you´ll can see on the web site, we negotiated prices and arrangements with two hotels very convenient and close to the center where the workshop will be held (10 mn walking time maximum). This period of end September in Grasse is still touristic, we urge participants to book early and the deadlines for reservation are the following : -Hotel des Parfums (3 stars , 57/60 Euros/night) : July 31st 2007 (30% for booking and d-5 for final settlement - no refund after d-5, d: expected arrival date) -Hotel Panorama (2 stars, 54/60 Euros/night ): August 31st 2007 ( no payment in advance for booking) The reservation for these hotels have to be done directly to the Hotel in using procedures and forms of our Web Site. Of course we´ll be able to have some rooms available after these dates but can be difficult if too many.. -Concerning travel, the International Nice Airport (the second for the traffic in France) has a lot of connections through Europe and world. The ground transfer to Grasse ( 40 km) can be achieved by regular bus directly from the terminal to the center of Grasse and very cheap (2 Euros). Of course hire a car is still possible but not needed for workshop by itself with accommodations in Grasse, taxi is a possibility too, but very expensive for one only. A link for bus schedule is applied on our web site in the ”Travel” column. Letters of invitation can be issued for anyone who requires one to accompany their visa application, don´t hesitate to contact us.. Subsidized attendance for some scientists is also able to attained, contact us... We look forward to seeing you in Grasse !
