INFORMATION ON SWEDEN...
- On Sweden:
- On South Sweden
- Lund and Malmö :
Lund:
Lund, the town where the fourth ECAP-congress will take place, is situated in the south of Sweden. It is one of the oldest towns in Sweden and has kept much of its charming and peaceful atmosphere. The town centre dates from the Middle Ages, and one of its main tourist attractions is the cathedral from 1145. Although Lund is a fairly small town with approximately 99 000 residents, it is part of the most creative and expanding region in Scandinavia. Lund University, founded in 1666, is the largest university in Sweden with about 34 000 students. Since the town is dominated by the university and its students, it has many pubs, restaurants, and also some nightclubs.
The congress will take place at the University square in the centre of Lund where also the Department of Philosophy is situated. The University square is at a walking-distance from the train station where trains to Malmö and Copenhagen depart, and from most of the hotels in Lund.
Malmö :
The nearby town Malmö is the third largest in Sweden, with about 237 000 citizens. After a glorious past as one of Sweden's most important industrial towns, Malmö is now more of a continental city with the Oresund bridge to Copenhagen, a newly founded university college and many influences from foreign cultures.
The local trains from Malmö to Lund leave approximately every 12 minutes, and the journey takes about 15 minutes. It is thus possible for a participant of the congress to stay at a hotel in Malmö .
ACCOMMODATIONS
Participants of the congress have to arrange for their own accommodation (with exception for plenary speakers, invited speakers and chairpersons), and will thus have to contact hotels or youth hostels themselves. Preliminary reservations for ECAP 4 participants have been made at a selection of hotels in Lund and Malmö . At most hotels listed below ECAP 4 participants get special rates. Note that most preliminary reservations will expire by April 15, 2002.
Accommodation can be hard to find at a short notice, and we therefore recommend that reservations are made early. Some hotels have codes for the preliminary booking made for ECAP 4 participants. The codes should be used in contact with these hotels. For all other hotels you should mention that you are attending ECAP 4. We give here a
price indications are approximative and may change.
DINNER
Participants of the Congress are invited to the Congress Dinner that is planned for June 16th.
Reservations are made in the registration form.
