Lammi Biological Station has mainly double rooms. You can indicate your preferred room mate on the pre-registration form or later when registering at the meeting site.
Please, confirm your participation by pre-registering as soon as possible on this form.
Overhead and a dataprojectors are available. A local PC, with Microsoft XP system, and with CD and USB memory stick inputs, is available for the Microsoft Powerpoint presentations. However, the use of Adobe PDF files is recommended. A personal portable PC can also be connected to the dataprojector. For the benefit of the audience, handouts of the presentations are encouraged during the symposium. For later downloading of the presentations, the organizers would like collect from each speaker his contribution on a CD to post the whole program on a server.
