Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP)
International Solar Cycle Studies Symposium 2003:
'SOLAR VARIABILITY AS AN INPUT TO THE EARTH'S ENVIRONMENT'
June 23-28, 2003, Tatranska Lomnica, Slovak Republic
The ISCS 2003 Symposium will take place in the Congress Centre (CC) of the Slovak Academy of Sciences situated a short way from the mountain village Tatranska Lomnica (TL) in the eastern part of High Tatras, a first-class touristic centre in Slovakia. The Tatras National Park (TANAP), though relatively small, represents the highest part (2655 m a.s.l.) of the Carpatian arch-like mountains raising from Danube river near Bratislava and falling down close to the same river in Romania. Succession of five maps here should help you to identify the venue precisely.
The Hotel Academia (HA), Lecture Hall (LH - 170 seats), lesser Meeting Rooms (MR) and a number of other hotels are within walking distance of the CC. The Astronomical Institute is nearby, while its Lomnicky Stit Coronal Observatory is accessible by the cableway. The picturesque hikes are possible throughout the TANAP using tens of kilometres of the indicated routes by signs. Sight-seeing tours to the neighbouring Kezmarok and Levoca medieval cities and to the Spis Castle and Red Cloister ( rafting on the Dunajec river) are advised. The High Tatras region is easily accessible by car, train and plane.
