INA8
The INA8 conference will be held in Bremen on 11-15 September 2000. Our organizing committee is already working hard to establish not only a successful, but also enjoyable conference. Unfortunately, the hotel situation is tense, due to the World Exposition EXPO 2000 in Hannover, which is only 100 km from Bremen. We therefore require an early (pre-)registration, so we can book rooms.
Accommodation
Hotel accommodation will most likely be in one hotel for all, which is situated downtown. A youth hostel is within walking distance of this hotel. The price for a hotel room will probably be ~ $70 per night (i.e. sharing a double room halves the costs). Breakfast in the hotel will be ~ $10 each. A limited number of colleagues may be privately accommodated, in case they need it and are content with a sleeping-bag.
Agenda
No suggestions regarding workshops etc. have been made yet. In any case, we ourselves will organize a workshop on calcareous dinoflagellates. A field trip will take us to the North Sea coast, a "type locality" of siliciclastic tidal flats.
Publications
The abstracts will be published in our institute's series, "Berichte aus dem Fachbereich Geowissenschaften der Universität Bremen". A special volume of the "Courier Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg" has been chosen for the Conference Proceedings.
