Welcoming you to Perugia

On behalf of the Local Organising Committee of IUGG2007Perugia, I wish to first and foremost thank all prospective participants to the Assembly and wish them all the best in their preparations and eventual travels to Perugia . I seize this opportunity to inform and assure all and sundry that the organizational machinery of LOC is busily fine tuning all the necessary arrangements to make your stay in Perugia and its environs and also participation in both scientific programmes of IUGG and cultural collateral activities a source of joy and satisfaction.

To assure you about the efficient services and facilities being put in place  during the period of the assembly, the LOC wishes to bring to your notice the  following.
That the accommodation of participants was managed by a competent, leader in the sector, agency at the best of the availability always choosing the most convenient solutions for participants.

I would also kindly emphasize that the agency which directly managed the accommodation for the participants is one of the most qualified and associates many important and comfortable hotels of Perugia and its surroundings.

The urban transportation network guarantees an efficient connecting system to the venues of the Assembly. The network is run by the APM that is the Transportation Agency of Perugia, with reliable structures and means. APM is offering special reduced fares for daily ticket within the urban area of Perugia at the cost of 1,50 € (full price 3,60 €). Intra-urban transportations are guaranteed as well for those residing in hotels in the area of Assisi and in other neighbourhoods with a network integrated with the urban one.

The LOC is organizing the eventual further supplementary integrations in order to improve a system that is already more than efficient which in normal conditions moves tens of thousands of people a day.

Finally, due to the compactness of the City of Perugia and its Environs the normal travel time would not exceed 30 minutes.

Best Regards,
The LOC Chairperson
