Venue

The course is held at the Molėtai Observatory near the town with the same name (around 70 km from Vilnius). Please note that the venue is a bit in the middle of nowhere (as observatories usually are). Thus it is wise to bring all the things you needs with you, since shopping possibilities will be limited. For your needs, an observatory car will go to Molėtai about twice a day and the organisers will accept your orders since you will be occupied by your lectures and other school activities.

   

 Accommodation

Students will be housed in double and triple rooms at the Molėtai Observatory, whereas lecturers will be living in single rooms. There will be one bathroom for 2 or 3 rooms. Linen and towels will be provided. Rooms are not too large, so please do not bring your whole household with you.
