(Someone might be suspicious why to the bank in Japan? Unfortunately, however, money transfer to Belarus from outside would still be somehow complicated and fee for this transaction would be unusually high, while in the way above the fee is world standard and conference organizers can transfer these money from Japan via ATM with a small amount of fee. That is why.)

Registration could be made also during the conference.

THE SOCIAL EVENTS

Besides those sessions above, we plan other social events.

Belarus is a land of fairly well-kept secret. In this lovely wonder land, with luck, you'll find something that could not be discovered elsewhere.

ACCESS TO BREST

From outside Belarus, we have two options of air trip. One is via Minsk and the other is via Warsaw. Unless your airport have a direct flight to Minsk, it might be more convenient via the Warsaw airport, which they call "Chopin Airport."

Via Warsaw Chopin Airport ... Take a bus No. 175 at the airport which takes you directly to warsaw Central Railway Station. You can buy the ticket for train at the Casa No. 15 and 16 (They say these 2 are for international line, not in English but in Polish though). The price is about 30 Euro. The timetable of the train from Warsaw to Brest can be seen at Train Timetable. Enjoy breathtakingly beautiful scenery from the train window for around 4 hours.

Via Minsk Airport ... Take a bus No. 173 or 300. The buses are available quite frequently from 03:15 to 00:50. It takes around 1 hour 20 min (41km) to the bus terminal located about 200 meters from the Minsk central raiway station. It will cost about 2 USD. See more detailed information here if necessary.

Unless your airport has a direct flight to Minsk and none to Warsaw, we strongly recommend via Warsaw.

ACCESS TO UNIVERSITY AFTER ARRIVING BREST RAILWAY STATION

Here you might find a simple map from Brest Center railway station to the University which includes three cafe/restaulant within walking distance from the university.

We have three options. (i) Trolleybus No. 1, 2, or 3 ... 3000 BYR; (ii) Mini-bus No. 6, 11 ... 6,000 BYR; (iii) Taxi ... about 50,000 BYR (Note that 10,000 BYR = 1 USD as of 20 April 2014). Important notice would be, inconveniently, we have to find place for each option around the railway station. See the map of arround the station. This map is specifically to know where could we take trolleybus, mini-bus, or taxi to the university.

HOTEL ACCOMODATION

We don't have a hotel within a walking distance from the conference site. So, in order for convenience we have already kept rooms in one Hotel as a default.

Hotel Vesta (16 Krupskov street. 16)
This is not a new hotel but some local people proudly say "This is the best hotel in the town." Price is approximately 28 euro for a standard single room per night.

If you want a new modern style hotel or not very convenient but cheaper hotel, please try to contact us.

We also have a couple of guest rooms in the University dormitory. This is for almost free, but unfortunately we have only a limited number of this fascility. So we put priority to young participants from foreign countries.
