lecture venue. The front desk staff is available 24 hours a day (this does not hold for the summer school organisers). Free Wifi in the lobby.

Laugardalur park with its spa. Rooms are not too large, so please do not bring your whole household with you.

We have reserved accommodation for participants from the evening of 30 June to the morning of 14 July. For people with very long travels we have also made some reservations for the night from 29 June to 30 June (to avoid to force them to
attend the first lectures in a kind of zombie state). These places are however, limited and will be allocated preferably to attendees from outside Europe on a strict first come-first serve basis. If you want to extend your stay beyond the
mentioned dates you should contact the hostel directly (see above for phone number and e-mail).
There are two youth hostels in
Reykjavik. Please make sure you arrive at the City
Hostel and NOT the Downtown Hostel. With bus and taxi
drivers it is a good idea to refer to the Laugardalur hostel.
