Location and Transportation

After Zagreb, Split is the largest city in Croatia. It is located in 
the most attractive region of Croatia, in central Dalmatia on the 
Adriatic coast. Transportation to Split is simple because there is 
international airport. There are also many fast inter-city train 
connections with Zagreb, and people coming by car can use 
the highway A-1, E-71 (nearly 400 km from Zagreb). Croatia Airlines 
flights daily on the line Zagreb - Split. Another possibility is 
to use Dubrovnik international airport, which is 200 kilometers away 
from Split.


Registration fee

Following the tradition of the ISPC symposia, on the Conference is only 
the voluntary registration fee of $20.

Publication of Symposium Papers

Several recent symposia have resulted in published volumes. Every effort
will be made to provide an appropriate venue for publication of the papers
presented at this symposium.  A special issue of Foundations of Chemistry 
is an excellent option, but others may appear as the time approaches.
