General Information for Visitors
Visa
All attendees are advised to check if they will require a Visa to enter the United Kingdom.
For official confirmation, please consult the UK government website:
https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa
If you will need a visa, and have not already done so, please let us know as soon as possible
so that we can provide you with an invitation letter.
Passport Expiry
Due to the ongoing political uncertainty regarding the UK's departure from the European Union, we advise
anyone travelling to the school to ensure that their passport will be valid for at least two months after
arrival in the country. Should your passport expire before then, we recommend you consult with your national
passport authority and renew your passport if recommended to do so.
Payment (Tutors and lecturers)
After a review of costs the accommodation fee will be 100 CHF per night for all staff.
The amount has to be transferred to the following CERN-held bank account:
- Bank: UBS SA - GENEVE
- IBAN: CH66 0024 0240 FP10 0541 3
- SWIFT: UBSWCHZH80A
- Account holder: CERN-CONFERENCES
IMPORTANT: Please be sure to clearly indicate the name of the conference (ISOTDAQ 2019) and the
budget code (34935) as the reason for the payment. Otherwise your payment may not be recognized.
Note on bank SWIFT code - it has been pointed out that the SWIFT code to be used for the payment
is registered as 'UBS AG-Zurich' rather than 'UBS AG-Geneve'. This is expected and doesn't imply any
problem with the transfer.
Some banks have requested the address of the payment recipient in order to process payment
of the school fee. Should this be needed, the address to use is that of CERN itself:
- CERN
- Esplanade des Particules 1
- 1217 Meyrin
- Switzerland
Should it prove useful, it is also possible to pay the conference fee with a CERN inter-departmental transfer
(i.e. a TID). To do this please:
- use the same budget code as before, 34935
- indicate 'ISOTDAQ 2019’ as a reference in the transfer
- add Barthelemy Von Haller as creditor
