Additional Info

Registration: The participants were requested to register by November 15th, 2005.
Posters and abstracts: A poster session will be held on Wednesday evening. All members of the School are welcome and encouraged to put up a poster on the premises. The poster abstracts will be collected in an abstract book distributed to all participants. The posters will be up throughout the duration of the School.
Credits: Students who wish to have credits for the course, should write an essay on one of the School topics. A list of essay titles will be distributed during the School. The course will give 3 ECTS.
Fees: The School is free of charge for academic staff and students
Questions: General questions concerning the School can be addressed to Dr Dage Sundholm

How to find the campus: Check out the Contact info page.
Practical notes: Some things to consider.
  • December 6th is the national independence day, so most shops will be closed and public transport follows Sunday schedules.
  • Arriving at the airport, bus 615/615T/615N will take you to the city centre for 3.40 €. You can use the same ticket for travel with all public transportation in the Helsinki region. (Within Helsinki, a ticket costs 2 €.) In the time table found here, "Lentoasema" means "Airport" while "Rautatieasema" equals "Central railway station".
Other things of interest: Helsinki might be cold, but is not dead in December. Check out the Tourist info page. Via that site, you can also find information about for example accommodation, like this:
