2009 NIMS-APCTP Joint International workshop "String Theory and Cosmology - Quantum Gravity Dark Energy and Dark Matter"  
Date: September 24~26 2009
Venue: Hotel Spapia (www.hotelspapia.com)
 
¢Ã Overview

The main goal of this workshop is to give opportunities of learning and presenting their works on the subject of string theory, cosmology and quantum gravity for students and researchers. This workshop will be held as NIMS-APCTP JOINT WORKSHOP. The program includes a series of presentations for recent progress on String Theory and Cosmology including inflation, dark energy, dark matter, string cosmology and related quantum gravity.

How to get to the conference site (Hotel Spapia)
 
 <By Airport limousine bus>
http://www.airport.kr/airport/traffic/bus/busList.iia?flag=E&fake=1209471147175
 
The most convenient way is to use Airport limousine bus which we strongly recommend.
When, you exit a gate of the terminal, you can see the bus stop "9D" at 1st floor.
 You can purchase the limousine bus ticket bound for¡°Daejeon¡± for
KRW 14,800(normal)/22,200(deluxe) at bus ticket booths.
It will take about 180 ~ 200 minutes for buses to arrive the destinations.
There are 3 bus stops in Daejeon. Get off at "Daejeon Government Complex" and take a taxi for the Hotel
(6 km, KRW 6000~8000).
