should submit a request, together with the application form, in which the
applicant must confirm that these funds cannot be provided by the Department

LODGING
The Schools are residential, both lecturers and students are grouped in the
same location. Beds in twin room are less expensive than in single room: the
organizers of the Schools consider worthly sharing a twin or triple room as
an alternative to occupying a single room. The daily cost of the hotel,
including bed, breakfast, and one meal (a supplementary meal can be
available at low price) for an individual is:
single room Lit/night 90.000, Deposit 100.000;
double room Lit/night 75.000, Deposit 100.000;
triple room Lit/night 70.000, Deposit 100.000;
Applicants should pay the Hotel deposit together with the School(s) fee.
ABSTRACT
Partecipants are invited to present, in form of oral presentation (5-10
min), the results of their own current researches. Applicants should submit
to the Director of the School one A4 page abstract, which will be included
among the lecturer abstracts distributed at the School. Furthermore, a short
article (max four A4 pages) can be brought to the School in order to be
published later on a planned international book. The article will be placed
under the judgement of the Advisory Board, which reserves the right of
rejecting papers for publication.
