On the following map, the part of the city marked by the red rectangle above is magnified. Another (blue) rectangle gives you still better approximation of the location of the faculty building. As you can see, it is not far from to the center of the city - the main square (Vaclavske namesti) is marked by yelow circle.

o How to reach the meeting point

To get to the Faculty building from the airport you can take e.g. bus No. 100 from the airport to the metro terminal ZLICIN, (line B - the yellow line), and go directly to the station KRIZIKOVA, lying on line B. This trip will last about 10 min (bus) + 30 min (metro).

You can find Public Transportation Office in the airport hall behind the Customs, you can also buy tickets or get detailed information there.

All main railway stations are directly connected to the metro net, and you should reach the meeting point within 30 minutes from any of them. We recommend to consult city maps and other information available on metro stations.

The village of Kacov lies in the middle part of the Czech Republic, inside of the "horse-shoe" of the Sazava river. The hotel is located in the forests some 1 km away from the village.

The hotel The hotel

There are possibilities for your sporting activities, as football, volleyball, basketball, mini-golf, tennis (two courts with Duroflex artificial surface), petanque, table tennis, darts, bowling. Please do not forget special shoes if you want to enjoy some of the above specified activities.

In case of nice weather we can use the 25m outdoor swimming pool, so don't forget your swimming suit. Inside of the hotel there is the possibility of using sauna and the exercise room.

We also recommend to consider an appropriate clothing and shoes for walks in the neighborhood. In the end of May, the outside temperatures should be within the range of +18 to +23 Celsius during the day with rare but possible exceptions in both directions.

The accommodation in the hotel consists of rooms for 2 or 3 people. All rooms are equipped with a bathroom and TV set. There are also some woodden chalets nearby and belonging to the hotel, for 4 people (bedrooms for 2+2), equipped with bathroom and a small kitchen (see the picture). These chalets will be used mostly for accommodating students. Don't be afraid, the chalets could be heated in case this would be necessary. The hotel

Full board (breakfast + morning drinks, lunch, dinner, still water during lunch and dinner, and coffee, tea and refreshments during coffee breaks) is a part of the conference fee, except drinks other than still water at lunch and dinner, or any drinks and refreshments outside the official meal times. At evenings a bar will be open, providing additional refreshments. All these additional purchases should be paid either by cash (in CZK) or can be collected on the consumation card (by the hotel crew) during the whole conference time and paid (by you :-)) at the end of the conference. You can pay these by CZK, or by card, or by Euro.

The hotel


o The technical support

There will be an internet wifi connection at the conference place. However, the place is in "the middle of the forests" and the way the internet connection is brought to the hotel is rather complicated "wireless-from-the-next-village-over-the-hill" connection. Therefore the internet connection is not too quick (8Mbps). It surely suffices for the common email or browsing usage, but it is not suitable for the large data transfer or e.g. 50 Skype calls at the same time. We will also have a printer, a copy machine, laptop, beamer (see more in the paragraph on Short communications).


o Papers, Preprints, Reprints, Books

Paperboxes in the conference place It is a tradition of the school to organize an "Exhibition of publications of participants" during the school. For that reason please do not forget to bring along preprints/reprints of your work or even the books (all of them not necessarily recent) to Paseky. Everybody will get a "mailbox" (see picture) in the conference place, where he/she can exhibit his/her papers or books to make them accessible for other participants during the conference time. Also, the organizers will bring along a small library consisting of approximately 100 books on the topics of PDEs and Fluid Mechanics (part of them is also visible at the background of the picture).


o Short communications

The participants of the conference can present their results in a form of a (very) short communication. We expect that the length of these communications will be (according to their number) set to approximately 10 minutes including discussion. The participants can use data projector (beamer), which will be available at the place. There will be a laptop connected to the beamer, running on Windows, with Power Point, ps (Ghostscript) and pdf (Adobe Acrobat) viewers, CD reader, and USB slot. You can also bring along your own laptop to be connected to the beamer. In that case please note that the beamer has only analog (VGA) input, not the digital one.


o Confirmation documents

Each participant will be given the receipt of paying the conference fee. Also, the official confirmation of participation (and the letter confirming that he/she had a short communication lecture) could be obtained at the conference place, as well as any other kind of receipt or confirmation. All these may prepared to your request at the conference place.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague and at Kacov!
