The Helsinki University Biological Station is located in Lammi about 120 km north of Helsinki. The Station provides a modest peaceful conference site with room and board for up to 100 participants.
Bus transportation will be provided to and from Lammi on Tuesday and Sunday with pickups and dropoffs at the airport and at the campus of HUT. Please, indicate your preferred place for pickup ( hotel, campus or airport) on the registration page. There will be a convenient pickup from the Helsinki-Vantaa airport on Tuesday, 6.1. 2004, at 16:30 o'clock. If you come later, we will have a second shutle bus leaving from the airport at 19:30. The bus with a yellow ULTI/QPLT Lammi sign can be found at the shuttle bus platfrom on the same level as the arrivals halls 2 & 3. The platform is on the very right hand side of the platform area.
You will find public transportation timetables at www.matkahuolto.fi (the place of arrival/departure is Lammi kk (Lammi))

Please, confirm your participation by pre-registering before December 15, 2003 on this form
January is cold and dark with temperatures between -5 and -10 °C. Occasionally temperatures can go down to -20 °C. The likelihood of snow is fairly high. The lake at Lammi will be covered with ice. Warm clothing is recommended if you want to take a walk in the woods of Lammi. Depending on the snow condition Lammi provides excellent possibilities for cross country skiing (bring your own skis).
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.
