GENERAL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS OF QGP WINTER SCHOOL 2008

A lot of effort has gone into organization of the school. Experts in the field have kindly agreed to share their knowledge with the young researchers in the field, in spite of their busy schedule. Also, a large number of enthusiastic young researchers could not be accommodated due to limited infrastructure and funds.  

It is, therefore, imperative that the participants shall attend ALL the lectures.

Mobile phones must be switched off inside the Lecture Hall.

Participants intending to go out of the Gold Palace Hotel premises during off time (no lectures) are advised to keep information with the hotel-reception.

The organizers will pay for accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea/coffee   arranged at breaks during lectures. Participants will have to bear all other expenditures incurred (including beverages after meals or otherwise) by them.

Please note the following timings:

1)    Breakfast – 07.00 to 08.30 hrs.

2)    Lunch -  13.00 to 14.15 hrs.

3)    Dinner – 20.00 to 21.30 hrs.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be served in the Dining Hall of the Gold Palace Hotel Only.

Drinking water filtered by Reverse Osmosis Process will be provided. Bottled mineral water will be available against payment of Rs. 20/- per litre.

We plan to provide minimum Internet connectivity to check emails during off time only. Complementary use of swimming pool, gym and indoor game facilities will be provided.

Due to limited funds, we are forced to arrange shared accommodation for three persons in a room. Inconvenience is regretted.

Please note that accommodations are booked till mid-day of 3rd February 2008. The rooms have to be vacated by 12'noon on 3rd February. The lectures at the auditorium will continue as scheduled and lunch will be served in the dining hall.

We will arrange transport from the Gold Palace to the Birla Auditorium after the concluding session of the School for the participants of QM2008 to attend the reception.
