FAUSTUS SOCINUS AND HIS HERITAGE
CRACOW - LUS£AWICE
24-26 SEPTEMBER, 2004

General conference information
for participants who do not give lectures or short presentations

The international conference - organised by the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (Cracow) and Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Warsaw) to commemorate the 400th anniversary of death of Faustus Socinus (Fausto Sozzini, 1539-1604), the prominent Italian reformer and religious thinker - is a scholarly event.

During the conference about 25-30 lectures and short presentations on Faustus Socinus's person and doctrine as well as on later development of the movement called Socinianism or Unitarianism will be presented.

Most lectures and short presentations will be given in English, and the rest in German, French and Italian. Presentations in the latter languages will not be translated into English but the participants will receive their English summaries. On September 26th, 2004 the conference participants will go to Lus³awice, a small village where Socinus spent his last years, died and was buried, and where in 1933 the American Unitarians erected a monument in his honour.

The registration fee for persons interested in taking part in the conference is 25 EUROS. The trip to Lus³awice costs 30 EUROS (transport plus dinner). The registration fee and trip cost should be transferred to the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences bank account (Polska Akademia Umiejetnosci, 17 S³awkowska St., 31-016 Krakow; bank name: BPH PBK S.A., IV O/Krakow; account number: 09106000320000471672; please add a note "Conference Socinus") by July 1st, 2004. Lack of the payment by the date will mean that the participant will not take part in the conference.

As far as accommodation is concerned, we provide it for the conference speakers only. The list of speakers has been already closed. We suggest that other participants should look for accommodation in the Jagiellonian University hotels ("Guest House", "Bursa Pigonia") relatively cheap and situated in the city centre (and thus close to the conference venue). Since the hotel rooms are frequently unavailable they should be booked much in advance (while booking a room please mention participation in the conference organised by the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences). More information on the website: http://www.adm.uj.edu.pl

We could also recommend other centre-situated but at the same time more expensive hotels such as:
Hotel Polski Pod Or³em (http://www.podorlem.com.pl)
Hotel Atrium (http://www.hotelatrium.com.pl)
Wawel Tourist (http://www.wawel-tourist.com.pl)
