OTHER INFORMATION
We invite you to attend the 41st annual meeting of the Academy of Aphasia, taking place in the center of Vienna, Austria.  Vienna, with its fascinating mixture of beautiful, old and modern buildings, its rich cultural program and its renowned medical tradition, is an ideal setting for the academy meeting.

Following the Academy of Aphasia meeting, an Aphasia Therapy Workshop:  “Current Approaches to Aphasia Therapy – Principles and Applications” (organized by Jacqueline Stark, Nadine Martin and Ruth Fink) will be held on October 22nd and 23rd in the main building of the Academy of Sciences.  Further information follows.

The Conference Site:  Austrian Academy of Sciences

The meeting will be held in the main building of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, which is the former and original University of Vienna building (“Old University”).  The Academy of Sciences is situated in the first district right in the heart of the city:  Dr. Ignaz Seipel-Platz 2, 1010 Vienna.

The platform sessions and symposia will be held in the “Festsaal” (“Festival Hall”) on the first floor, and the poster sessions, coffee breaks, etc. will be in the “Aula” (“Assembly Hall”) on the main floor.  (There is an elevator for wheelchair access.)

The Academy luncheon will take place at the MAK Café (Museum for Applied Art).  It is a five-minute walk to the MAK from the meeting site.

HOTELS

A separate list of hotels in the vicinity of the Academy of Sciences building can be found on the Academy of Aphasia website.  We have reserved rooms up until September 15, 2003 in the following three hotels – all within walking distance to the meeting site:  Hotel Mercure Wien Zentrum, Hotel Mercure Wien City and Hotel Mercure Secession.  A single room is 117 Euros per night and a double room is 139-142 Euros per night including breakfast and all taxes.  For these three hotels you have to book the room through the local organizers (date of arrival and departure, credit card holder and number and expiration date).

Other hotels in all price categories are included in the hotel list.  (The currency exchange rate is approximately one Euro=one U.S. dollar.)  For the smaller and more reasonable hotels and pensions early booking is recommended because the hotels in Vienna are pretty full all year round.  In Europe continental and/or buffet style breakfast is included in the room rate.  The internet address for all hotels in Vienna is:  http://www.wien.info

Upon arriving at the Vienna International Airport there is a bus which takes you to the City Air Terminal (next to the Hilton Hotel – which is presently closed for renovation).  The bus ticket costs approximately 6 Euros each way.  From the City Air Terminal you can either walk to your hotel, take a subway from “Wien Mitte” (Line U4 or U3), or you can take a taxi.  There is also a train from the airport (S-Bahn) to the station “Wien Mitte” which takes 25 minutes.  Taxis from the airport can vary in price.  If you want to take a taxi to Vienna, you should go to the “Mazur” counter, which is in the arrivals area and request a taxi from the company “Taxi 31300”.  The price for one way is 27 Euros.

If you plan to travel around the city a lot, it is advisable to get a “24-hour ticket” for public transporation or a “72 hours Vienna Card” for all buses, subways and streetcars.  The “72 hours Vienna Card’ costs 16,90 Euros.

The Local Organizing Committee looks forward to greeting you in Vienna!
