Croatia Croatia officially the Republic of Croatia is a unitary democratic parliamentary republic at the crossroads of Central Europe, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean. Its capital and largest city is Zagreb. The country is divided into 20 counties and the city of Zagreb. Croatia covers 56,594 square kilometres (21,851 square miles) and has diverse, mostly continental and Mediterranean climates. Croatia's Adriatic Sea coast contains more than a thousand islands. The country's population is 4.28 million, most of whom are Croats, with the most common religious denomination being Roman Catholicism. Map of Croatia can be found here: http://www.visit-croatia.co.uk/map/

Travel There are numerous ways of travelling around Croatia and which mode of transport you choose probably depends on what part of the country you're in, and how far you need to travel. Generally, unless you have a hire car, you will most likely travel around Croatia by either bus or train. The bus network is very extensive and there are several buses operating on inter-city as well as local routes.

Train travel in Croatia is easy and relatively inexpensive, but the train network isn't as wide reaching as the bus network. For example - famously - Dubrovnik has no train station.

By air Many airlines fly in to Dubrovnik airport. More information about the airport can be found at: http://www.airport-dubrovnik.hr/index.php/en and a list of airlines that fly to Dubrovnik can be found at: http://www.airport-dubrovnik.hr/index.php/en/linkovi/avio-kompanije

Croatia Airlines is the official carrier for the conference. They have special discounts on certain airfares for international tickets for participants and one accompanying person on flights to and/or from Dubrovnik. For more information, please download this PDF [52 KB]

Croatia Airlines operates buses between the airport and the main bus station in Kantafig (45 min), which is 2.5 km northwest of the Old Town. Taxis from the airport to the centre will cost around 320-400 kn. Going to the airport a bus usually leaves the main bus station 2 hour before each international flight, and costs 35 kn. Departure times are also displayed in the tourist information office at Pile Gate. The bus passes close to the Old Town en route to the airport and you can board this bus at the bus stop on Petra Kresimira 4 just above the Old Town, by the lower cable car station. Make sure you wave otherwise the driver may not stop.

By train The closest rail station is at Ploče, less than 2 hours by bus from Dubrovnik. Parking There are parking spaces available at the hotel. If you require a parking space please contact Dawn Stewart at [email protected]

On arrival, each participant will receive a delegate pack containing a pen and pad, a copy of the proceedings, a programme and a badge. Please wear your badge at all times because this will help with security and enable you to identify your fellow delegates. Replacement badges can be issued at the registration desk. On your departure, please return your badge to the registration desk so that it can be recycled.

Messages A message board will be placed near the registration desk. Participants should check the board for messages as an attempt to locate participants will only be made in the case of an emergency. During registration times, messages can be left by email to [email protected] or by telephone to +44 (0) 79171 81183.

Those with special dietary requirements other than vegetarian are asked to make themselves known to the catering team. It will not be possible to provide an alternative menu unless prior notification has been received. We are aware that nut allergies in particular present a serious problem to some people. The RIXOS hotel can provide details of the ingredients of any particular dish, but cannot provide assurances that the food has not been cross contaminated with traces of nuts during ingredient processing at manufacturer’s site or food during food preparation/service on site. For these reasons, we regret we are unable to provide guarantees that any of the food we serve is free from nuts or trace elements. Please e-mail [email protected] if you have any queries.

Exhibition The following exhibitor will be situated in Lobby area throughout the conference.

National Instruments http://uk.ni.com/

Presenter’s information The lecture theatre is equipped with the following audio-visual equipment: • Data projector • Laptop with PowerPoint facilities (Office XP and Windows XP) • Laser pointer Speakers wishing to use additional audio-visual equipment or intending to present from a Macintosh computer are asked to contact Dawn Stewart ([email protected]) before the conference. Oral presentations Speakers are requested to bring their presentations on a USB memory stick in either Office 2007 or .pdf format and preload them onto the laptop located in the Levantera room. Speakers should save their presentation into the appropriate pre-named session folders pre-set on the desktop and files should be saved by speakers surname and initial. To optimise compatibility, particularly for the inclusion of multimedia components, PowerPoint presentations should have been saved using PowerPoint’s “Package for CD” facility. Direct connection of personal laptops (with set up in the break prior to the corresponding session) is an acceptable but not preferred alternative. The lecture theatre is reasonably large, and speakers should use a minimum 15-point font size in PowerPoint slides to ensure legibility. Presenters are asked to prepare their talks to match the allocated times which will be rigidly enforced by the session chairs. Poster presentations Posters will be on display for the duration of the event with a dedicated poster session on Monday 16 September at 15.20 – 18.00. Please note that during this poster session, authors should be next to their boards to answer questions and facilitate discussions on their work. If you are presenting a poster please ensure that you display your poster on the board number that matches your number in the programme. Posters can be mounted from 08:30 on Monday 16 September. All posters must be removed by 12:45 on Wednesday 18 September. Although organisers will endeavour to save poster material, no guarantee can be made for posters not removed by this time. Posters must be no larger than A0 in size (118.9 x 84.1cm / 46.8 x 33.1 inches), in a portrait format. If your poster does not fit within these dimensions, we cannot guarantee it will be displayed. Fixing material will be supplied
