The arrival day, with bus transportation from the Oslo airport to the mountains will be Tuesday 4 January 2000. In order to catch the conference buses, you should choose a flight which arrives to Oslo airport at latest at 2:00 pm. Estimated duration of the bus drive is a little less than three hours.
Bus transportation from the hotel to the airport will take place on Monday 10 January 2000. When booking the return flight, you can count on that the bus will be at the airport at 1 pm.
If you on the afternoon of Tuesday 4 January experience problems at airport, you can make a call to the mobile phone of Janne Ignatius, +358-40-5157678. (He comes from Helsinki with a flight that is scheduled to arrive at 1:40 pm.) Later on, you should rather call the conference hotel directly: Spåtind Høyfjellshotell, tel. +47-61 11 95 06.
If you are not coming with the conference bus, please notice that there is a 'flybus', that departs once every or every other hour, from Oslo airport to Gjøvik. Gjøvik is located 60 km southeast from Synnseter where the Spåtind hotel is. It may also be possible to get by public transportation to Dokka, which is 35 km south from Synnseter. From Gjøvik (or Dokka) you could try to get a taxi, if you can afford it. A better method is to call the hotel and agree on a private transportation - in one known case the charge was roughly 300 NOK. However, for non-local participants it is strongly advisable to arrange the travel in such a way that one will be able to use the standard conference bus.
There is no registration fee and no fee for the bus transportation. Participants should pay the accommodation, which includes full board and lodging, directly to the hotel during the conference. Price is NOK 735/night in a single room, NOK 645/night in a shared double room, NOK 1290/night for a double room for two persons. For 4-13 year old children the charge is 50 %. Major credit cards are accepted.
General information
The traditional biennial Nordic Meeting in Particle Physics, 16th in the series, will again be arranged in Spåtind (Synnseter), 140 km north-northwest of Oslo, Norway.
The scientific program will start on Wednesday 5 January and end on Sunday 9 January. Invited speakers will give two 55-minute lectures each. For contributed talks there will be slots of 15 and 25 minutes. No proceedings will be published. There will be several hours of free time every afternoon in the program.
The conference venue offers excellent opportunities for cross-country skiing in the mountains. In addition, the hotel operates a middle-sized slope with one lift for downhill skiing. Skiing equipment can be rented at the conference hotel.
Deadline for registration was 15 November 1999. Those that were wishing to give a contributed talk should have filled out the separate form by the same date.
The conference is sponsored by Finska Vetenskaps-Societeten & Finska Vetenskapsakademin.
