Travel Information:
How to get to the hotel from the airport
The hotel is called
Henrietta (Ke Stirce
1774/42, Prague), their web
page at booking.com is
http://www.booking.com/hotel/cz/henrietta.html
1/ take bus number 119 to
"Nadrazi Veleslavin"
(the end stop of that
bus, you cannot miss it),
2/ change to Metro (=U-Bahn) line A, take a train in
the direction of
"Depo Hostivar"
or "Skalka", and continue to station "Muzeum",
3/ change to line C, take a train in the direction of "Letnany"
or
"Ladvi", and continue to station "Kobylisy";
4/ station Kobylisy has two exits, choose the one in
the direction of
the train you came in
5/ follow the map to the hotel
How to get from the hotel to the institute
1a/ return to Metro station
"Kobylisy" and take a train in the
direction
of "Letnany" or "Ladvi",
get off at "Ladvi" (it is just one stop)
1b/ on the way to Metro station "Kobylisy",
you will see a tram stop "Ke
Stirce"; take tram number 10 in the direction of
"Sidliste Dablice"
and
get off at station "Ladvi" (4th stop)
2/ follow the map to the Institute
Miscellaneous info on public transport
1/ There are two basic
variants of the ticket: 24 CZK (valid for 30
minutes) and 32 CZK (valid for 90 minutes). You need the longer ticket
from the airport, the shorter ticket is enough from
the train station.
The ticket has to be stamped once you enter a bus, a tram, or at the
entrance to a Metro station.
2/ There are ticket machines at Metro stations and at some Tram stops.
Unfortunately, most of them take only coins. At the airport, there are
machines at the bus stop that take cards. There are also information
booths at the airport terminals and at the main train station where they
sell tickets (check the page http://www.dpp.cz/en/list-of-info-centres/
to see how the booths look like).

Summary:
The 1st Czech-Israeli
workshop ��Strong electron correlations in nano-materials for advanced
energy applications� organized by FZU
ASCR v.v.i., and sponsored by the Czech Academy of
Sciences (KAV-1871/RZS/2016)
took place at the Main Building of FZU ASCR on 28.11-
01.12.2016.
Over 30 participants from Israel, the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria attended the workshop. The program consisted of ten invited talks, and fourteen oral contributions.
The workshop was focused on the fundamental aspects of nanoscale physical phenomena in strongly correlated materials used for the electric energy and the nuclear energy production.
The main goal of this workshop was to bring together Israeli and Czech researchers in a fields of theoretical and experimental material science. We hope that it will contribute to establishing a new
and strengthen existing collaborations between the scientists from Israel and the Czech Republic.
