The conference program will consist of invited talks (35 min + 10 min for discussion) and contributed presentations (15 min + 5 min for discussion) as well as of the permanent poster display.

At the last day of the conference the panel discussion with the working title: Heavy ion physics - decline and revival is planned. The panel discussion is open to everybody and short presentations, covering both general issues and specific problems, are welcome for discussion. If you already plan to raise an issue, an earlier indication of the subject via e-mail will be very helpful to orchestrate the event.

The first three years of radioactivity

Tuesday, 30 June evening: welcome reception at HIL

Thursday, 2 July: dinner at restaurant "Wilanów" close to the Wilanów Palace of King Sobieski

Friday, 3 July: Opera by W.A. Mozart " Idomeneo, re di Creta".

Sunday, 5 July: excursion

It will be either a bus trip to Zelazowa Wola (Chopin's birthplace) with the piano concert or a guided tour of the Warsaw Old Town. The excursion(s) will be organised depending on the number of people interested. Therefore we would appreciate an earlier e-mail information in case you may be interested.

We enclose the map which should help you to find your way.

If you arrive by air you can:

• Take bus number 175 or 188 from the airport and get out at 10th stop. From there you have about 500 m walk to the Laboratory building.
• Take a taxi. We suggest to go to the upper (departure) airport level and take a taxi which arrives with a customer departing. Airport taxis on the arrival level are very expensive (about a factor of 5 compared to the city cab). The taxi price to HIL should not exceed 20 PLN (about 6 US) during the working day.

If you arrive by train to Warszawa Centralna you can:

• Take tram number 7 or 9 or 25 going in the direction Ochota or Okecie (West) from the stop which is in front of the train station and get out at the 6th stop. The Laboratory building is about 400 m from this stop.
• Take bus number 175 going in the direction Airport from the stop which is in front of the train station and get out at the 5th stop. For the convenience of those who will take tram or bus we enclose 2 bus/tram tickets (1 ticket per person and 1 per big piece of luggage). This ticket should be validated immediately after boarding the bus or tram.

When arriving by car:

We hope that the enclosed map can help you to find your way but please don't hesitate to contact us for more details.
