Registration
The deadline is March 30, 2012. You can either register online, or send an e-mail message to ot[at]theta.ro.

Programme
The Conference will be held in the main building of the West University of Timisoara (str. V. Parvan 4). Two daily sessions, morning and afternoon, are planned. There will be plenary lectures of 40 min. and communications of 30 min. and 20 min. Subject to the number of registered participants, several parallel sections will be organized.

Abstracts

Alternatively, abstracts can be sent by e-mail to ot[at]theta.ro. The deadline for receiving abstracts is June 15th, 2012.

Travel
Timisoara can be reached:

- by plane:    - directly to Timisoara (strongly recommended);

The English web page of the airport in Timisoara contains useful information about flights and access to/from the airport. The airport is 12km far from downtown (where all conference venues are located). 

                     - to Budapest, where several low cost airlines fly from western Europe. An efficient way to reach Timisoara from the Budapest airport is the shuttle service provided by the company Sirius (which require advance reservations). It takes 5-6 hours from Budapest airport to Timisoara.

                     - to Bucharest, then taking a domestic flight or the train to Timisoara.

- by train:      Timisoara is about 8 hours distance from Bucharest, 6 hours from Budapest (Hungary) and 3 hours from Belgrade (Yugoslavia).

The English web page of the Romanian Railways is here. To look for international train connections all over Europe, a good place is the site of the Austrian Railways. The required destination should be Timisoara Nord.

- by car:       If you travel from Western Europe take from Wien to Budapest the freeway M1; then after Budapest M5 all the way to Mako (after Szeged). Exiting the highway look for signs directing towards Timisoara (you will cross the border at Csanad/Cenad and pass afterwards through Sannicolau Mare).

Visa
EU, US, and Canadian citizens do not need a visa to enter Romania. Otherwise the requirements depend on different bilateral agreements, so the safest thing is to contact early the Romanian Embassy in your country.

Fee
The Conference fee is 100 Euros, which is expected to be paid at arrival. A limited number of waivers might be granted to graduate students and young researchers; applications should be made in due time. 

Lodging
Two types of lodging are available:

        - Hotel: We suggest that participants contact one of the following hotels. They are all conveniently situated, less than 15 minutes walking distance from the main venues of the conference.

        - Students Dormitory:  One place in a double room is 15 Euros per night. Arrangements will be made through the organizers.
