Dear Students, a few reminders and instructions, as our MPD school is very near:
- Ours is is a low budget event, mostly supported by the University and the city of Cordoba . We decided not to seek support from international organizations, to avoid the possibility of any political or ideological misunderstandings. We encourage your participation and interaction in the warm atmosphere of Cordoba . The success of our meeting will pave the way for future events
- Accommodation and meals at the Colegio Mayor Nuestra Señora de la Asunción will be provided ( http://www.uco.es/organiza/servicios/aloja/estudiantes-colegiosmayores-galeria.htm ) from July 16 to July 22. In some exceptional cases we can provide accommodation for the night of 22. Please communicate with Alexander Maz at infompd@uco.es if you need to stay. As the University is in the Summer break, the Colegio Mayor will be open just for our meeting and it will be closed before July 15. Those students that will arrive prior to that date will need to find lodging elsewhere. Prof. Maz may assist you with some indications.
- The easiest way to reach Cordoba either from Seville or Madrid is the AVE train that departs every hour. We strongly recommend that you buy your train ticket immediatelly by internet in the web site http://www.renfe.es/ave/madrid_sevilla.html . Allow at least 4 hours from the arrival time of your flight from Madrid to the departure time of the train from the Atocha station. From Barajas airport to Atocha it is easier to take a taxi, but there are other options, indicated in the airport. From the train station in Cordoba to the Colegio Mayor it is a short distance, and the taxis ride is unexpensive.
- Do not hesitate to seek help in the information booth at the train station if you prefer to take a bus.
