General Information
Trondheim
Trondheim is the third largest city in Norway with a population of
about 150,000. Located on the coast it enjoys a temperate climate
thanks to the Gulf Stream. Trondheim can be reached by train, boat and
there are more than 20 planes every day to and from Oslo, only 40
minutes away. In June you will experience the magnificent summer nights
when it is never really dark, the days are only separated by a couple
of hours of twilight.

Accommodation
The Congress organizers have made reservations at hotels of high
standard within various price categories. All hotels will be within
walking distance (less than 2km) of the Congress except the Scandic
(3km), but this hotel can offer free parking. A bus service from the
hotels will be provided. The number within each category is limited.
Reservations received after May 1 1995, rooms will be allotted on the
basis of availability.
For reservations, please fill in the
registration form, this also includes prices and booking details.
Hotel expenses are to be settled directly with the hotel upon
departure. All major credit cards are accepted.
Reservations must be guaranteed by credit card. In the case of no
show etc. without prior notice to the congress
secretariat, you will be charged for one night. Further
information will be enclosed with your letter of confirmation.
Personal invitation
If a personal invitation to attend the congress is required, please
contact the congress secretariat.
Visas
If applicable, we advise you to apply for visas immediately. No visa is
required for US, Canadian and most European citizens. In the summer
season the visa office in Norway is extremely busy and long delays can
be expected. The secretariat is not in a position to speed up the
application process.
Lunches
As there are few restaurants open for regular lunch service in the
vicinity of the University Campus, lunch is provided for all
participants in the ICA Club. It is
absolutely necessary for us to make reservations in advance. Tickets
for the lunches and also for the Congress
Banquet will therefore be included in the total Congress fee for
participants. Lunch tickets will be available for purchase for
accompanying persons.
An international exhibition of equipment, instrumentation, materials,
and literature will be held in connection with the congress at NTH.
Companies and others wishing to participate in this exhibition should
contact the Exhibition Manager
immediately for further details and to reserve space.
