Room reservation:
There are usually many visitors in Prague in September, it is therefore reasonable
to reserve a hotel room in advance. The VERSIM workshop participants who want to book a room in the hotel where
the workshop will take place can use
a link set up by the hotel for a block reservation which is guaranteed until 25 June 2010 .
Alternatively, they can send an email message
to rezervace@hotel-globus.cz, with a copy to versim10@ufa.cas.cz.
In this message they need to specify the type of room (single/double/triple/family), number of guests, their arrival and departure dates,
and add a note that the reservation concerns participation on the VERSIM workshop.
