Hotels

The Mini-Conference will be held on the campus of the University of Melbourne. The Campus is located right next to the famous Lygon Street and within a short (10 minutes) tram ride to city center. So unless you have very good reasons to arrange accommodation far away from the venue of the Workshop, you should consider one of the hotels around the campus of the University of Melbourne.

This will be a low-cost event. Thus, in addition to regular hotels in the proximity of the conference venue, inexpensive accommodation options are also available.

If you are interested in sharing accommodation, indicate this in your registration form and we shall send you a list of delegates who are interested in this option.

Important Comments

Delegates have to make their accommodation bookings on their own. These hotels do not have secure e-mail facilities. Therefore do not send the details of your credit card by e-mail. Use fax for this purpose.

We arranged the following rates for the Workshop delegates. Please indicate on the reservation/booking form that you are a delegate of this Workshop.
