Accommodation
The Josef Pidułski Museum in Sulejowek is the perfect location for our next conference and our local colleagues are wonderful partners.
Unfortunately there isn’t much accommodation in Sulejowek. However, our Polish conference organiser is now negotiating with a hotel nearby that offers rooms in several categories and will organise a shuttle service.
Of course, everyone is free to find their own accommodation and commute independently if they wish.
More information about accommodation will follow soon.

Going home
If your flight back home is from Sibiu airport, you might consider attending a post-conference tour, starting on Monday, after the conference, from Sighișoara, passing Bran Castle and staying overnight in Brașov, arriving on Tuesday at around 11.00 in Sibiu. If your flight back home is from other airports, such as Cluj-Napoca, you may take the same route back. If you travel back to Bucharest, you might take advantage of attending the post-conference tour, as either a bus or train leaves from Brașov to Bucharest every hour, with only a short connection (train or bus) to Bucharest airport.
