UAB “Palangos zuvedra” ACCOUNT:
Beneficiary's bank: Siauliu bankas AB, Siauliai, Lithuania
Bank’s address: Gintaro street 46, Palanga, Lithuania, SWIFT: CBSBLT26
Correspondent account with Deutsche Bank AG, Frankfurt, SWIFT: DEUTDEFF
Beneficiary: UAB "Palangos zuvedra"
LT 637180600000070416
- purpose: IUFRO, Name, Surname, Country.
Registration: simultaneous with the payment.
Abstracts: up to 1 page, indicating whether intended talk or a poster, deadline July 1st, to be sent to rimvys.vasaitis(a)slu.se<mailto:rimvys.vasaitis@slu.se> and Cc: audrius.menkis(a)slu.se<mailto:audrius.menkis@slu.se>
Proceedings: authors of all contributions will be invited to submit manuscript to Baltic Forestry (www.balticforestry.mi.lt<http://www.balticforestry.mi.lt>), a journal with ISI impact factor (yet recent and small). All submissions will be reviewed.
Travelling by air:
- arrival: Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flights SK2746 and SK2744 from Copenhagen, and SK2742 from Oslo (direct connections to USA / Canada and major European cities), or AirBaltic flight BT033 from Riga (direct connection to major European cities);
- departure: SAS SK2749 and SK2747 to Copenhagen, SK2743 to Oslo, and BT032 to Riga; you will arrive/depart 7 km from the hotel;
- in case of earlier arrival and/or later departure you will be charged extra at very moderate price (this might be worth as Palanga has nice beaches and unique amber museum www.pgm.lt/Gintaro_muziejus/titulinis_en.htm<http://www.pgm.lt/Gintaro_muziejus/titulinis_en.htm> part of which exhibition consists of insect/plant inclusions);
- in case you will be willing to attend another Meeting of IUFRO Working Parties 7.03.01 and 7.03.04 starting in Vilnius on September 17th (see below), you will be offered transportation to Vilnius meeting venue for symbolic price (or eventually free of charge); in such case, please book return flights from Vilnius airport, which has a broader selection of flights.
Travelling by sea:
- check http://www.dfdslisco.com/en/
- please note that even if from Kiel to Klaipeda (everyday connection) it takes about 20 hours (incl. overnight), the trip is likely to be more relaxing than the whole way driving (see below); Klaipeda port is just 30 km from the hotel;
- in case if you would like to attend Vilnius IUFRO Meeting, Palanga – Vilnius makes 350 km driving, all highway.
Driving all way:
The problem is that there is a Russian enclave between southern Lithuania and northern Poland, so you will have to drive around it, crossing the whole Poland, and there is no cross-country highway. Yet, after passing Polish – Lithuanian border there will be a highway to Palanga, about 350 km. This way could probably be recommended to our Polish colleagues.
Joint IUFRO 7.03.01 “Cone and seed insects” and 7.03.04 “Diseases and insects in forest nurseries” Working Party Meeting, Vilnius, Lithuania, 16 – 20th of September 2012.
Meeting venue and accomdation: http://www.radissonblu.com/lietuvahotel-vilnius
Preliminary schedule:
Sunday, September 16th: arrival, registration, free time (colleagues from Palanga meeting arriving on 14th- 15th, will make respective reservation; Vilnius has a nice old town, check website above);
Monday, September 17th – sessions;
Tuesday, September 18th – excursion to Dubrava Forest Enterprise: nursery, seed orchard, arboretum, etc.
Wednesday, September 19th – sessions and conference dinner;
Thursday, September 20th – morning sessions and departure after the lunch.
Registration: see attached form; please note that the accommodation and dinners (except for conference dinner) are not covered by the registration fee, which makes the difference from Palanga meeting; in case of shared accommodation just make a double room reservation.
