There is some more information under Frequently Asked Question.

Registration

The Workshop is meant for active researchers in the areas mentioned and is by invitation. The number of registered participants will be limited to about 50. If you wish to participate in the meeting, please let us know by the request webpage by October 22, 2003. Doctoral students should ask their advisers to write a supporting letter to the organisers (only a few students well into their thesis research can be invited). We shall write to the participants subsequently.

Tea and lunch during the workshop is expected to be provided for registered participants. Registration does not automatically guarantee accommodation.

Accommodation

We will try to find accommodation for registered participants from outside Mumbai. We hope to be able to support the cost of stay and part of the food while you are attending the meeting. Once your accommodation is confirmed, your place of stay will be communicated to you.

As organisers we may face a difficult task to find accommodation for all participants that we would like to invite, due to our budgetary constraints. Our on-campus housing facility for guests is severly short of the number required. We thus will have to put up some of the participants in city hotel(s). We shall provide transportation between the Hotel and the Workshop venue, TIFR.

Travel support

We have so far no funds for travel support from meeting sources. At the moment, everyone should assume that there will be no travel support.

Arrival-Departure

Please let us know the details of your arrival and departure. Also let us know whether you are coming alone or accompanied by somebody. Please note that the workshop will not bear the expenses of the accompanying person. Please fill the arrival-departure form by December 25, 2003 so that arrangements can be made to receive the participants.

Visa

Please note that participants who are not Indian citizens will need a visa to come to India.
