An outline of each of the lecture courses and reading lists will be sent to selected students during April 1999 together with their letters of acceptance. The Centre is located in the beautiful natural environment of the protected region of the Lower Carpathian Mountains, about 40 km north of Bratislava and only 11 km away from the town of Modra, which is traditionally famous for its wine. All those participating in the School will be lodged in suites. Each suite has one sitting-room, two double rooms, a bathroom, WC and a telephone, which can also be used by participants for outgoing calls managed through the telephone exchange of the Centre. Incoming calls can be received in the suites.
Laundry facilities are available and require extra payment.
Some excursions will be organized and one or two afternoons will be free. There will be around 30 lectures in all, each lasting about 60 minutes, followed by a 15-minute period for questions and discussion. Discussion sessions, which are intended to clarify points which may be obscure from the lectures, will be held on most days in the afternoon. The working language of the School will be English. Participants should therefore have a good understanding of English to enable them to benefit from the School.
