Coffee and orange juice

Besides the morning and afternoon coffee breaks, there will be the possibility of having coffee or tea all day long, as well as making your own fresh made squeezed orange juice at the auxiliary room (coffee breaks room).

Computers room

The computers room will provide several PC with connection to internet (telnet, ssh, ftp, web browser), some basic software (ghostview, acroread), and printer. The room will be open from 9:00 to 18:00.

Working room

The auxiliary room (coffee breaks room) will also have tables and chairs to allow people to meet and work in small groups. Nevertheless, anyone needing any special room or any other facility may contact the organizers, who will try to provide it.

Information for students

In order to facilitate that students are able to attend the 18th Annual ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry (Barcelona, 5-7 July 2002) a special effort has been done regarding the cost.

Registration fee has been made as small as possible: Only 118 Euro if you register before May 12. This fee gives exactly the same rights as the full registration fee, including lunch for the 3 days.
Cheap accomodation at the Residence of Researchers has been arranged: Many rooms have been blocked, at a very good price. Students have preference to book them, if they do it before April 14.

Price of double room: 67 Euro (Mo-Fr), 40 Euro (Sa-Su)
Price of single room: 47 Euro (Mo-Fr), 28 Euro (Sa-Su)

Besides that, no additional funding is possible, and no individualized support may be considered.
