Summer School on Materials for the Hydrogen Society
Chernogolovka, Russia, July 14-18, 2010

The Summer School-2010 is partly meant as a primer for the International Symposium on Metal-Hydrogen Systems, MH2010, which will be held in Moscow, Russia, from July 19–23, 2010.

The School-2010 will be hosted by the Institute of Solid State Physics RAS in Chernogolovka, one of the largest research centres of the Russian Academy of Sciences located about 50 km north-east from Moscow (see http://issp3.issp.ac.ru/engl/ ). It will start with an evening session on July 14 (Wednesday) and it will end with an excursion and relocation of the participants of MH2010 to Moscow on July 18 (Sunday).

Travel information

The most convenient way to come to Moscow is by air.

Depending on the air-carrier, you will arrive to one of three Moscow airports – Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, or Vnukovo. From there you may get to your destination in Moscow by taxi (1700-2000 RUR) or by train called “AeroExpress” (270 RUR) and then by metro (26 RUR). AeroExpresses arrive to railway stations with connections to the metro (Belorusskaya, Kievskaya or Paveletskaya – all on the brown circular line).

Once you get to the metro, ride to the end-station "Shchelkovskaya" on the dark-blue line, North-East direction. In Cyrillic, this station is written as ЩЕЛКОВСКАЯ.
There is a large bus station near the Shchelkovskaya metro station.

After you arrive to "Shchelkovskaya", go to the bus station by taking the exit near the first (head) car: go upstairs and take the exit on the right-hand side, then climb the stairs on your left.

There you take bus 360 (Moscow-Dubrovo) to Chernogolovka. The buses depart from a platform close to the entrance to the bus station (red point (2) on the map). You can also take minibus 320 "Moscow-Chernogolovka" (red point (3) on the map). In both cases, you buy a ticket from the driver (90 RUR). It usually takes 1–1.5 hour (depending on the traffic) to get to Chernogolovka from "Shchelkovskaya".

If you want to take a taxi from the airport, go to the counter in the arrivals hall. Note that the ride to Chernogolovka can be rather expensive.

When you are in Chernogolovka, walk from the bus station (1) to the hotel (2) where you will live. Proceed to the reception and ask for the room reserved for you. The room charge is paid in cash at the reception when you check in.

Registration of participants and lecturing will be organized at the Institute of Solid State Physics RAS labelled (7) on the map above. When at ISSP RAS, the participants will have free access to the Internet via Wi-Fi at the lecture hall and through Ethernet connectors at the library upstairs.

Summer School on Materials for the Hydrogen Society
Chernogolovka, Russia, July 14-18, 2010
2nd Announcement*

The deadline for the requests for participation in the summer school is extended to May 20, 2010.

To register for both the summer school and MH2010 Symposium, please e-mail your request accompanied with a scanned copy of a signed recommendation letter from your supervisor to antonov@issp.ac.ru and upload an abstract of your presentation at MH2010 via http://www.mh2010.com/. With the recommendation letter, you will be charged a reduced fee for MH2010.

To support the students, no fee is requested for participation in the summer school. We are working on getting more funds to provide additional support for some students. The basic criteria for this additional funding will be the achievements of the student declared by his/her scientific supervisor in the recommendation letter and the living standard of the home country.

No poster sessions are planned during the school. The participants of the school are expected to also participate in the MH2010 Symposium and to make their presentations there. We are working on finalizing the program of the school.

For the period of July 14 to 18, we reserved rooms for 51 participants of the summer school. The rooms are all reserved at our bigger Hotel of the Research Centre, http://www.hotelchg.ru/ (regretfully, the Internet site is in Russian and most of you will only be able to view some photos). These are 12 single-rooms at 1800 RUR per night, 6 double-rooms at 2500 RUR, and 9 boxes composed of a single-room at 1000 RUR and a double-room at 1500 RUR with a shared bathroom and toilet. (During the last few months, the exchange rate has been fluctuating around 40 RUR per 1 Euro.)

Please note that Chernogolovka is a small town with only two hotels. A delay with the registration may result in a less comfortable or/and more costly lodging.

Those participants of the summer school who need a Russian visa, are recommended to request an Invitation Letter from the organizers of MH2010. You should e-mail your request to mh2010@mh2010.com and clearly explain that you are going to participate in the summer school in Chernogolovka and indicate the desirable dates of your arrival and departure from Russia. With this Invitation Letter, you will have the visa of the type required for economic lodging at the hotel or dormitory rooms of Moscow State University during the MH2010 Symposium. (Detailed instructions of how to get the Invitation Letter can be found at http://www.mh2010.com/ on page “Accommodation”.)
