Eighth International Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure

Registration and Accommodation

Deadlines

Early Registration: June 1

Housing: July 1

Registration Fees

The early registration cost (before June 1) is $375 for regular attendees and $200 for students. After June 1, the late registration cost for regular attendees will be $450, and that for students will be $275. Participants should register early, both to save money and to assure a place in the conference, as the number of attendees that can be accommodated at the Clark Kerr Campus is limited. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Housing, Meals, and Parking

The official conference housing is at the Clark Kerr Campus of the University of California, Berkeley, which offers very reasonably priced accommodations and meals in a quiet, campus-like setting. All common and residential areas inside this facility are nonsmoking. The Clark Kerr Campus is approximately 1 km from Berkeley's Telegraph Avenue business area and 1.5 km from the center of the main university campus. Accommodations at the Clark Kerr Campus are provided as a package that includes housing and dining services. All housing arrangements must be made either on line or through the ICESS8 Office; do not contact the Clark Kerr Campus directly.
