We have reserved accommodation for participants from the evening of 3 July to the morning of 17 July. For people with very long travels we have also made some reservations for the night from 2 July to 3 July (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 NEITHER the Downtown NOR the Loft Hostel. With bus and taxi drivers it is a good idea to refer to the Laugardalur hostel.
