Together with this last circular we are sending you the program and the preliminary list of participants of the
Erice School 2006.
 

IF YOU ARE IN THE PARTICIPATION LIST BUT YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE,
YOU SHOULD INFORM VADIM RODIN, EITHER BY FAX: **49/7071/295388
OR PREFERENTIALLY BY E-MAIL: erice2006@uni-tuebingen.de

• Fee

The fee of 800 EURO covers costs in Erice including full board and lodging from dinner on September 16th to breakfast on September 24th. Drinks and beverages, after-dinner coffee, telephone calls, personal laundry, etc. are not covered by the fee.

The fee of 800 EURO (if you are not an EPS or Erice fellow or a lecturer) should be paid (also by participants who have a DFG fellowship)
either in EURO or in US-Dollars (the sum equivalent to 800 EURO) to:

 
Direttore Centro di Cultura Scientifica
 "Ettore Majorana"
 Banco di Sicilia - Agenzia di Erice
 ABI 1020 CAB 81850
 Account No. 410041 482
 I-91016 Erice, Italy.


at least THREE WEEKS IN ADVANCE to be sure that the payment is in Erice at the start of the School. The Centre will charge you 800 Euro in cash in Erice if your transfer has not arrived in time. Bring the bank confirmation of your payment with you.


NO CREDIT CARDS ARE ACCEPTED IN ERICE FOR PAYING THE FEE!


Since 2003 within the European Union there exists a cheap way to transfer money at the same rate as inside a country. You need for the bank and the account of the Centro Ettore Majorana the BIC (Bank Identification Code) and the IBAN (International Banking Account Number). The full bank information is:

 
Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture
Banco di Sicilia - Agenzia di Erice
IBAN: IT40T0102081850000410041482
BIC: BSICITRRTPN


PAYMENT IN CASH is possible in Erice BUT IT IS ADVISED TO USE BANK TRANSFER at least three weeks in advance. To pay in cash in Erice has turned out to be time consuming since only one person, who is not regularly present, can give a receipt. It is often so that it is extremely hard to get a receipt, especially for those, who do not pay at the beginning of the school (in some cases when participants payed during the last days it took months to get a receipt via mail).

When the payment is made the course ("Nuclear Physics, 28th Course") must be identified. An evidence of the payment must be provided at the registration time in Erice. The bank statement should also be used for refunding your travel expenses at home. The centre has always difficulties to prepare a receipt before you leave.
 
 

Time of arrival and accommodation

The Centro ``Ettore Majorana'' is responsible for all organizational details in Erice (apart from the scientific program). Operations in Erice are in the hands of Mrs. Fiorella Ruggiu whom you should contact for any specific local need.

Please inform the Centro ``Ettore Majorana'' about the exact time and the flight number of your arrival at Palermo Airport on Sept. 16, 2006. Please, try to arrive before 15:00 in the afternoon, so that the Centro ``Ettore Majorana'' can arrange your transport from the airport to Erice (100 km) with arrival in Erice before 5 p.m. Send your arrival information by fax to:
 

Mrs. Fiorella Ruggiu
Ettore Majorana
International Centre for Scientific Culture
Via Guarnotta 26
I-91016 Erice /Trapani/Italy
Fax:             00390/923/869226
Tel.:            00390/923/869133 (or: /869107)

The Centro Ettore Majorana neither confirms faxes nor reads e-mails, so, please, do not ask for it.

You also have to indicate if you bring your family member(s) with you. Each family member has to pay the same fee of 800 Euro for food and lodging.

Registration and room allocation is upon your arrival on September 16th at the secretariat of the School ("San Rocco", Via Guarnotta 26, Erice) not later than 5 p.m. Please, do not try to make reservations directly in hotels in Erice. Participants will be accommodated in rooms with one or two beds, the majority with shower or bath. Priority in the room allocation, as far as comfort is concerned, will be based on age.

You must, as already mentioned above, inform the Center about the flight number and the time of your arrival on Sept. 16 at Palermo Airport. If you do not inform the Center about the time of your arrival, you will not be picked up on September 16. The transportation on Sept. 24 to the airport will be organized during your stay in Erice. You can catch the planes departing after 7 a.m. on Sept. 24. Transportation on other days is in your own responsibility.

If, by any chance, you do not find yourself on the list of participants and you want to participate or if the title of your talk in the enclosed program is not correct, you should contact, preferentially by e-mail,

Scientific program

The working program of the school will start on September 17th at 9:00 and will close on September 23rd in the evening. The lectures and seminars will be given in three blocks: September 17th and in the morning on 18th;  September 19-20 and September 22-23. The afternoon of September 18th and the full day of September 21st are free days on which excursions will be arranged (on 18th to the beach in San Vito Lo Capo for swimming and on 21st to some touristic sites).

There will be lectures and seminars each day in the morning and in the afternoon so as to leave plenty of time for the free discussion that is an important part of the Erice system. The early afternoons are for private activities, special seminars, working groups, workshops, etc. 

In addition to the lectures and seminars contained in the program we have in three afternoons workshops organized by the lecturers. If you want to speak in one of the workshops, you should contact one of the lecturers listed there. Each participant can speak only once. The addresses are in the list of participants. Usually, four speakers can speak in each workshop. Workshop talks are 15 minutes each plus 5 minutes for discussions.

A computer with a beamer are provided in the lecture hall. So it is enough if you bring to Erice your talk on a memory stick as a PPT or PDF file. Naturally, it is also possible to connect your personal laptop with the beamer. In any case you should prepare the presentation of your talk with Alberto (who is the person responsible for the presentations in the lecture hall) during the break before your talk.
 
 

Proceedings

The proceedings of the School will be published as volume 59, issue 1 of ``Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics'' (by Elsevier).

The PS or PDF file of the contribution along with LaTeX source file and EPS figures should be sent to erice2006@uni-tuebingen.de till November 20th, 2006.

Mail

All mail for you while you are in Erice should be sent to:

Care: ETTORE MAJORANA
          International Center for Scientific Culture
          Via Guarnotta 26
          I-91016 Erice (Trapani)
          ITALY

Several personal computers are available for using your e-mail at the Centro Ettore Majorana. It is often difficult to use pay phones. If you must rely on phone calls, it is better to have a mobile phone with a contract which allows you to phone in Italy. American mobile phones do not normally work in Europe unless you have a rather special one and the corresponding contract.
 

Weather

In September the weather is warm in Erice, but cooler than in the rest of Sicily since it lies at 750 metres above sea level. During the excursions you have the possibility to swim in the sea.
 

How to reach Erice

By car there are two possibilities:

(a) drive along the Autostrada del Sole from Milan-Bologna-Florence-Rome-Naples-Villa San Giovanni (Reggio Calabria). Then take the ferry-boat from Villa San Giovanni to Messina and drive on to Erice (350 km from Messina);

(b) take the ferry-boat either from Genova or from Naples to Palermo, and then drive on to Erice (about 120 km from Palermo). The places on the ferry-boats from Genova or Naples should be booked in advance.
 

By train:

From Milan-Rome via Messina you can reach Trapani directly.

By plane:

To Palermo.  For arrival and departure at normal times (September 16th and September 24th) the School will make local transport arrangements (till about 15:00 on September 16th) from the airport in Palermo (100 km to Erice), but not if someone arrives or leaves at different times.

 
 

I look forward to seeing you in Erice on Sept. 16, 2006 in the evening.
The lectures start in the morning of Sept. 17 at 9 a.m. To get accommodated in Erice you should plan
to arrive in Erice before 5 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2006. The last bus leaves at 15:00 from Palermo airport.
