Conference Summary / Outlook
The topics for the parallel sessions coincide with the topics for abstract submission (see the list below). Detailed
programme will be given after the selection of abstracts.
Abstract Submission
After creating the Indico account the participant may submit an abstract. The procedure for submitting an abstract
is given at http://hep2009.ifj.edu.pl/abstract.php. The conveners of each session will select abstracts for a talk
or a poster. They may also suggest that some interesting abstracts, not selected for an oral presentation, may
be presented as a poster during the poster session.
The submitter must select at least one (no more than three) of the parallel sessions from the list:
- Astroparticle Physics
- Cosmology and Gravitational Waves
- Detectors (LHC and R&D) and Accelerators
- Flavour Physics
- Higgs and New Physics
- Neutrino Physics
- QCD in hadronic physics
- Heavy Ions
- QCD at Colliders
- Standard Model Electroweak Physics
- Unified Theories, Strings, Non-perturbative QFT
Conference venue
The conference venue will be the Auditorium Maximum of the Jagiellonian University, which is a modern lecture theatre
complex, located close to the historical centre of the city and the Central Station. It is also close to most of the
hotels and major city attractions.
The Auditorium Maximum address:
33 Krupnicza Street
31-123 Kraków, Poland

transfer or credit card.
Accompanying persons are entitled to attend the Welcome Reception and Concert.
Cancellation policy
Any cancellation of the registration must be sent in writing to the Conference Secretariat.
up to Monday, June 15, 2009 - full refund (minus 100 PLN - handling fee)
after Monday, June 15, 2009 - no refund
Accommodation
It is very difficult to find a vacant room at hotels in the city centre in summer. This forced us to set a very early
deadline for hotel reservation (May 8, 2009). Therefore, we urge you to make hotel booking and (obligatory!) hotel
deposit payment as soon as possible. The organizers have made a preliminary booking of a number of rooms in several
hotels near the conference site. The Jagiellonian University Events Office is responsible for the hotel reservation. Details
on "How to book" may be obtained from: http://hep2009.ifj.edu.pl/accommodation.php.
A map with the exact location of the hotels is available on the conference website under the "Accommodation". Lower-cost
accommodation for younger scientists and students is also available but the number of rooms is limited.
Accompanying exhibition
The conference committee organizes an exhibition of products from the areas related to physics research: electronics,
computing, cryogenic, mechanics, instrumentation and other industry. The achievements of the editors and publishers,
both purely scientific and popularizing science, as well as all kinds of didactic tools, toys and gadgets based on
physical effects will be also presented.
Details concerning the Exhibition can be found on the Conference website. Please, spread this information among
collaborating institutions and publishers.
Social Events
A number of social events have been planned as described in detail at http://hep2009.ifj.edu.pl/events.php.
All participants are warmly invited to attend the Welcome Reception at the Auditorium Maximum of the Jagiellonian
University on Wednesday afternoon, July 15. Excursions (also for accompanying persons) are planned for Sunday, July 19,
the day which is free of scientific sessions. The reservation of the offered tours can be made via the Orbis Travel Agency
(more information can be found on the conference website). On Thursday, July 16 and Friday, July 17 (from 8 am to 4 pm)
the travel agency representative will be present at the conference venue and can arrange additional tours on request. Monday
evening, July 20 is reserved for the concert of Capella Cracoviensis.
"Capella Cracoviensis" is a chamber choir and symphony orchestra playing classical and contemporary music. The Social
Program will end with the Conference Dinner on Tuesday, July 21.
Travel
Krakow is located in the Central Europe. It can be reached by plane, train, bus or car.
There are direct flights to Krakow airport from several European cities. The airport is located about 15 km from the city centre. It can be reached by taxi, public bus or quick railway line.
Another option is to fly to Warsaw airport and continue to Krakow via train which runs almost every hour in the mornings and late afternoons. The trip takes about 3 hours and the railway station is in the city centre. One could also fly to Katowice-Pyrzowice airport and take
a bus to Krakow. The trip takes about an hour.
Visa information
Conference participants are requested to familiarize themselves with visa requirements well in advance of the conference. All
relevant information can be found on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. A letter of
invitation can be provided upon request for the registered conference participants. Please take visa processing time into
account.
The person applying for the official invitation letter is expected to work in the field of high-energy physics. In doubtful
cases we may ask for additional information.
