Room Reservation, Arrival and Departure Information

A form will be emailed after the registration deadline. If the form is not completed by March 25, we will assume you will not attend, and your participation will be cancelled.
The School is organised by the COST Action Ca22148 NEXT and is free of charge.
All participants are kindly requested to follow strictly the following registration procedure:

Please indicate the Erice School and a two-line motivation to join NEXT. The NEXT core-group will approve your membership in few days.
- You will then receive an email from e-COST with the official invitation to attend the Erice School explicitly indicating your eligibility for the reimbursement. Please follow the link in the email and accept the invitation: this will confirm your financial support from COST as well as the Local Organizer Support grant for the institute hosting the event. The invitation will be sent in a few days.
The Ettore Majorana Foundation provides the option for full-board accommodation, including lodging, breakfast at the San Rocco Centre, and lunch and dinner, for a total cost of 900 EUR (see bank transfer details below). School participants may have lunch and dinner at any of the restaurants in Erice affiliated with the “E. Majorana” Centre, and a list of approved restaurants will be provided upon arrival. At each meal, restaurant staff will ask participants to sign a form indicating the relevant activity (Course, Seminar, etc.) for record-keeping purposes. Please sign legibly (accompanying members should also sign). Remember to wear your badge at all times.
We recommend making the transfer at least three weeks in advance to ensure the payment arrives in Erice before the start of the School. Proof of payment (such as a bank confirmation) must be presented at the time of registration in Erice. (PLEASE, send bank receipt to info@erice-attosecond.it). Otherwise the Centre will charge you in cash or credit card.

Important note
In recent years, some participants have received phone calls or emails from individuals falsely claiming to handle hotel reservations in Erice and requesting credit card information. Please be aware that such calls and emails are fraudulent. All accommodations are arranged solely by the local staff of the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice, based on the information you provided in the arrival and departure form. The staff will never contact you directly (neither by phone nor by email) to request your credit card details.
