GENERAL INFORMATION

VENUE

Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Heyrovského nám. 2, Praha 6.

LANGUAGE

English is the working language of the Summer school; no translation will be provided. All materials for publication must be submitted in English.

ACCOMMODATION

Accommodation including breakfast has been reserved in the Kajetánka dormitory, Praha 6, Radimova 12. On the departure day, the room must be cleared at 9 a.m. at the latest.

08:00-18:00 - Excursion

A visit to the MEGA, Ltd., a Czech producer of ion exchange membranes and electrodialysis and electrodeionization equipment.

The excursion continues in the Lemberk castle (http://www.szlemberk.xf.cz/). The Baroque Lemberk castle was built on the remains of a fortress from the 13^th century. The best-known inhabitant of Lemberk was St. Zdislava, the wife of the founder of the castle, Havel Markvartic. She is reminded by the museum and a small well below the castle. The sightseeing round presents Renaissance and Baroque interiors, the kitchen, chapel and the office of the lord. In a part of the castle, there is the exposition of current glass-making art.
