Proposal for organizing ACA 2010
Dates: Any time between April 15 -- June 30, 2010 (Hotels are more expensive in Vlora during July and August). Perhaps last week of June would be appropriate.
Hotels: We have a dorm with 60-70 beds that we can get and of course many hotels are available in Vlora. We can bargain that the price of a 5 star hotel during that period to be 40-45 euros (if we reserve in blocks).
Funding: We will cover the cost of the dorm/hotel for all the participants. In addition, we will cover the cost of travel for all ACA-WG members and session organizers up to 500 Euros. We do have funds for such things. If other funds will be available we will try to cover costs for all participants.
Activities: Vlora is # 1 tourist destination in Albania. We will organize trips to:
National park of Llogara
Butrint (World Heritage Site)
Kanina Castle
Boat trip to the cave of Haxhi Aliu
Banquet (There will be a banquet for all the participants. The cost will be covered by the University of Vlora)
You can check the pictures of our NATO ASI conference organized in Vlora to check some of these sites.
Travel: For international travelers there are two main ways to get to Vlora:
Through Tirana International Airport (University of Vlora Vans will pick up and drop everybody)
Through the Port of Vlora which is only a few hundred meters from the University
