REGISTRATION


Formal registration is now open. Even if you pre-registered, please

take a minute to update your registration now!


This also applies to all speakers and SOC members... We need to have a

census of the total number of participants, so if you don't register

you may not be able to attend...


The conference is limited to about 70 participants. If we receive more

registrations, the SOC will make a selection from the registered

participants. Admission of late registration is at the discretion of

the SOC.


The list of registered participants will be made available on the

conference website; for the time being, please have a look at our

exciting line-up of review and invited speakers at

http://mongolia.csp.escience.cn/dct/page/65581


VISAS


Participants from many countries will need to apply for a Mongolian

visa in advance of their travel. If this applies to you, please check

the visa information page at

http://mongolia.csp.escience.cn/dct/page/65584


Please strictly adhere to the deadline of 1 June 2014 for submission

of your information, so that invitation letters can be issued in June.


A copy of the application form is provided as a link from the visa

page.


If you're a US citizen you're lucky: you won't need to apply for a

visa!


ACCOMMODATION


The following website provides numerous hotel options:

http://www.mongolianhotels.net/


The local organizers recommend that you book your accommodation at the

Zaluuchuud or Puma hotels. The Puma Imperial Hotel (Ulaanbaatar) is

nearest to the University. See

http://www.welcome2mongolia.com/archives/zaluuchuud/ and

http://www.mongolianhotels.net/hotel_more.php?hid=51 for more

information.


If you need any help, please let us know and we'll pass your request

on to the local organizers for further action.


KEEP UP TO DATE!


The conference organisation is still evolving at this point. We have

reached agreement with the local Mongolia-Japan Centre to hold the

meeting there. We have been told that this is a very nice, modern

venue.


In the next few weeks, we hope to be able to provide more clarity as

regards the conference fee, social activities, options for excursions,

etc. To keep abreast of developments, please keep an eye on the

conference website, http://mongolia.csp.escience.cn/dct/page/1


We hope to see many of you in Ulaanbaatar in September!
