mobiles work in Komi.
It is possible to

Time in Komi is
For some
participants it may be needed to stay away the night Saturday/Sunday for a
cheap flight. Or you may just be you are just interested in tourisms. A meeting
with Barents Ecological Form is planned to start Sept 19, it may give a reason
for someone to stay over the weekend. You can get in touch with Aleksey, who is
willing to arrange or suggest ideas how to spend the week end if there are
desires connecting to that.
The current idea is
that proceedings will be published after the meeting. Only papers based on
presentations by authors at the meeting will be published. The proceeding is
currently planned as an independent booklet, not a part of a series. Aleksey
Fedorkov will be main editor of the proceedings. Authors are requested to
submit their contributions electronically before October 15 to Aleksey
Fedorkov. The booklet will be distributed to the participants (each will get
three copies free of charge) and to major forest libraries in their home
countries. Try to be concise, papers based on oral presentation longer than 10
pages or abstracts based on posters more than 2 pages may be refused. More
detailed instructions for the lay-out will appear later.
Current timetables
are given but of course they can change:
On Sunday there is
only evening flight through
St.Petersburg
There are no
flights on Thursday and Saturday through St.Petersburg. The travel through
St.Petersburg is more convenient due to changing airport in

contributions. If you in a similar way get traveling costs paid by a foundation
you are expected to inform Dag Lindgren on email (Dag.Lindgren@genfys.slu.se). You
should inform Dag Lindgren how you want the money paid to your institute and
what codes should be written on the payment. E.g. (if travel contribution were
