Accommodation
We have reserved a number of single study-bedrooms at Pollock Halls, a University of Edinburgh student residence just to the south-east of the city-centre. Some ensuite rooms may be available at an additional charge. Breakfast and evening meals will also be available there. Rooms have been reserved from the evening of Tuesday 8 to the morning of Saturday 19 July. ICMS cannot guarantee the availability of rooms. Priority will be given to ASI students and invited lecturers.
Participants are also free to make their own arrangements for accommodation and ICMS staff will be happy to advise.

3. Financial Support
There are some funds available to support participants to the ASI. Final decisions regarding support will be made during the last week of May.
(a) NATO has made an award to cover some of the costs of eligible ASI students (i.e. those from NATO, Partner and Mediterranean Dialogue Counties http://www.nato.int/science/e/eapc.htm). ASI students are expected to stay for the entire period. (This funding is therefore not available to those who wish to attend only the Workshop.)
(b) ICMS has funds from the LMS and EPSRC to assist UK mathematicians. Each award is worth £200 and will be deducted from the total invoice. This award is also open to those who wish to attend only week 2 of the ASI (Workshop component)
