REGISTRATION, BANQUET AND GALILEO'S TELESCOPE TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED HERE.
The Galileo exhibition website can be viewed HERE.
Registration for non-students is €300. Student registration is €180. Guest registration is €120.
Registration fees will not be refunded after May 20 2009.
Registration includes a copy of the conference proceedings, an Italian buffet lunch every day, a welcome reception on Sunday evening and wine and cheese at the poster session on Tuesday evening.
The conference dinner is optional at €70 but is highly recommended; it will be held in the Tuscan village of Artimino at the stunning Villa Medicea La Ferdinanda. Built in 1596, it was the hunting residence of the Medici family. We will begin with a welcome cocktail on the lawn followed by aperitifs and a buffet of tuscan starters in the impressive cellars of the Villa. A four-course meal will then follow in the grand hall overlooking the beautiful gardens. Vegetarians will be well catered for (as much thought will go into their menu as that of the meat-lovers!)
Please note that we will travel to Artimino by bus and that part of the route involves a winding slightly steep road. The drivers will be instructed to take it easy and not drive Italian-style!
Wednesday afternoon has been set aside for optional tours of Prato or Florence (half an hour train ride away). We hope to be able to offer a private viewing of Galileo's telescope, housed in the Museo di Storia della Scienza in Florence. You will have the opportunity to sign up for a tour when you register on your arrival to the Monash Prato Centre.
