Travel
Timisoara
can
be reached:
- by
plane: - directly
to Timisoara (strongly recommended);
The English web
page of the airport in Timisoara may be useful for information
concerning flights and access to/from airport:
Timisoara
Airport "Traian Vuia"
- to
Budapest, where several low cost airlines fly from western
Europe. The most efficient way to reach Timisoara from the Budapest
airport is the shuttle service provided by the company Sirius.
They require advance reservations, either by email at
sirius[at]arad.ro,
or by phone at +40 257 253 434. It takes 5-6 hours from Budapest
airport to Timisoara, and they drop passengers at the desired
hotel.
-
to Bucharest, then taking a domestic
flight or the train to Timisoara.
- by
train: Timisoara is about 7
hours distance from Bucharest, 6 hours from Budapest (Hungary) and 3
hours from Belgrade (Yugoslavia).
The English web page of the
Romanian Railways is

To look for international train connections all over Europe,
a good place is the site of the Austrian Railways. The English
version of the page is
http://www.oebb.at/vip8/oebb/en/index.jsp
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 to Szeged. Leaving the freeway at
Szeged, continue towards Mako(Arad/Bucharest), and just before
entering Mako there are 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.
