Thank you for returning the first questionnaire concerning the Erice School on "Quarks in Hadrons and Nuclei", September 16 - 24, 2007. Now on-line registration is open and we kindly ask you (including also Lecturers and invited Seminar Speakers) to fill it out HERE.

We will hold a place open for your participation if you have indicated "I will participate Definitely" in the on-line registration. Please, feel free to give the information about the School to a collaborator or a colleague of yours who would like to participate.  You can use e-mail to contact us (erice2007@uni-tuebingen.de), if necessary . In July you will receive the last circular with the program and the list of participants.
If unexpected circumstances prevent you from participating, please, inform us immediately.

The European Physical Society gives a very limited number of EPS-fellowships which pay the 800 EURO for food and lodging but no fare. The fellowships go preferentially to East-European applicants, although there is no definite restriction. To apply for an EPS fellowship you should indicate it in the on-line registration. Deadline for the application is February 10th, 2007. A copy of your on-line application will be sent automatically to:
 

Please, send also a letter of recommendation by a professor in support of your application to the above EPS address as an e-mail or a hard copy. A copy should also be sent before February 10th, 2007 to us in Tübingen, e-mail: erice2007@uni-tuebingen.de, or as a hard copy to:

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:

Account No. 13358
Bank code: ABI 1020 - CAB 81850

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.

When the payment is made, you have to indicate "ISNP-2007-your_name" (e.g. "ISNP-2007-Smith"; ISNP="International School of Nuclear Physics") as the purpose of the transfer.

Payment in cash is possible in Erice but IT IS ADVISED TO USE BANK TRANSFER at least three weeks in advance, because 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, e.g. when participants payed during the last days of the school, it took months to get a receipt via mail).

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 often has difficulties to prepare a receipt before you leave.

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 a monastery and cathedrals in Monreale and Palermo as well as to the Palazzo dei Normani).

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. 

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 discuss all the technical questions concerning 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.
 
 

Operations in Erice are in the hands of Mrs. Fiorella Ruggiu to whom you should apply for any specifically-local need and whom you should also inform about your arrival time at the airport in Palermo on September 16th at least two weeks in advance.
