ACCOMMODATION AND FACILITIES

Speakers and participants are housed in the dormitory of the old monasteries (San Francesco, San Domenico, San Rocco). Our staff will do their best to make your stay enjoyable. Each room may host 1 or 2 beds. All rooms have private bathrooms and showers. In case young participants may be kindly requested to share their rooms.

It is a deliberate policy of the EMFCSC to help the local economy. The expansion of our living quarters has been accordingly tuned: thus often it happens that participants are also lodged in hotels, either because a course is too numerous or because there are parallel activities encouraged to establish interdisciplinary links.

There is a "coffee room" in the I.I. Rabi Institute (in the back of the courtyard on the right‑hand side under the staircase) where coffee, tea, mineral water, and snacks are available (free) at any time. This "coffee room" is also used for breakfast.

There is a "piano room" (the small central room under the arches at the back of the courtyard at the I.I. Rabi Institute) with a keg of Marsala wine (free). This "piano room" can also be used for working parties. The "piano room" must be closed before midnight.

The Centre has two washing machines and two dryers for use by the participants (at the rear of the courtyard at the I.I. Rabi Institute).

The computer room is located off the left‑hand side of the I.I. Rabi courtyard.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

Participants must communicate their arrival and departure times and flight numbers well in advance of their arrival. On the official arrival day, transportation from Palermo or Trapani airports to Erice will be provided by the Ettore Majorana Centre. Participants arriving at the above-mentioned airports should look for the Ettore Majorana meeting point inside the terminal at the arrival gate where the Ettore Majorana Centre driver will be waiting.

Participants should register upon arrival at the Centre Secretariat (I.I. Rabi Institute). There will be no lectures on either the arrival or departure days of the Course.

On the official day of departure, transport to Palermo or Trapani airports will be provided by the Centre.

LUNCH AND DINNER

A selected list of recommended restaurants is displayed in the entrance hall of the I.I. Rabi Institute. The closing day of each restaurant is given in the list.

The restaurant owner will ask the participants to sign a form where the appropriate activity is indicated (Course, Seminar, etc.) to keep a record. Please sign legibly; accompanying members must sign too.

Please wear your badge.
