July 5 - July 15 2008, Prague, Czech Republic
F. A. Q.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on ess2008(et)europeum.org1) Can I get my money back if I pay the fee and I am not able to come to Prague for any reason?
We can give you back 90 per cent of the fee at any moment till June, 25. The rest of the money would be used on transfer fees, labour costs, and storno fees of our partners.
2) What is the weather like in July in Prague?
You can expect the weather to be sunny with occasional showers or storms and temperatures about 20-30°C.
3) What kind of clothing do I need?
You don't have to bring any formal clothing. Even at the excursions in the Senate or during the meetings with embassadors, you won't need anything special. However, take notice that there is dragonboating or beach volleyball in the schedule, so be ready for those and take some sport clothes.
4) Do I need bed linen or a sleeping bag?
You don't have to bring bed linen or a sleeping bed. Bed linen will be provided in the dorms. However, bring your towel with you. (A towel is the most essential tool of every traveller!)
5) Where do I get a ticket for the public transportation?
You will get a 15 day ticket for the public transportation at the registration (covered from the tuition fee). If you go by bus from the airport or the station, you will need just one-way ticket (26 CZK).
6) Will I need my laptop? We would not recommend you to bring your laptop with you to Prague. You will not need it during the classes, you can check your emails in the internet cafes in the city. Moreover, you will be able to lock your rooms at the dorms, but things happen and we cannot take any responsibility, if something gets lost.
6) Can I stay at the dormitory also after the end of ESS?
We can arrange it for you in advance. Also there should be no problem to do it once you are in Prague.
