Location of school

The exact location of the school is:
    Tallinn University of Technology
    Building IV, Room 103

It will start at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, July 19.

The web page http://www.ttu.ee/?id=1854 provides you with links to maps and general directions concerning the university.  The map "Campus and Mustamäe" provides you with a campus map, including of course Building IV an the Academic Hostel.  The map "Tallinn and TUT" gives you an idea where the campus is located in relation to the city.  It shows in fact Sütiste tee, where Hotel Hermes is. From there it is walking distance to the campus, you can ask in the hotel for more specific directions, if necessary.

 All people living in hotels closer to the city are suggested to take a taxi which is not that expensive.

Network participants pay out of the budget allocated for the school
Invited speakers from outside the network will be reimbursed for travel and local costs
Sponsorship available for the local costs of a limited number of non-network student participants, probably on a first-come first-serve basis

Moving around

From the Viru Center area, there is the trolley bus No. 3 to the part of town called Mustamäe, where the University is located. It stops near the Academic Hostel and the stop’s name is Keemia. To the Hotel Hermes, there is bus No. 17A that stops nearby (stop Tervise).  It leaves from the Estonia concert hall, a few minutes walk from Viru Center up the street called Estonia puistee.

Social events and excursions

As a default, it is assumed that you would like to take part in some parties, a city tour and an excursion, as they are free of charge. If you do not because you have other plans, that is fine. Just let us know so that we can give to the restaurants and tour operators involved some numbers of participants that are about right. If there is an accompanying person, he/she is welcome to participate, too. Again just tell us about that for the planning involved.

The current plans are

A welcome party on Wednesday, July 19, 19:00
An event dinner on Friday, July 21, 19:00
A city tour (partially by bus , and a walk in the Old Town) on Saturday, July 22, 13:00 – 16:00
An excursion by bus outside Tallinn on Sunday, July 23, 10:00 – 19:00
A farewell party on Monday, July 24, 19:00
