Dear Helle and Rose-Marie,

I just received an estimate of the costs of the
Wojnowice Workshop that I organize. The Wojnowice
Workshop is a follow-up of the Nordita Days on
QPOs that took place earlier this year.
It is an important part of my Nordic Project
in 2005.

There are also pre-Workshop and after-Workshop
(2 days each) scientific activities at Opava and
Prague that considerably increase the impact of
the Workshop. They are quite important from the
research point of view, but irrelevant to the
economy discussed here, as all these additional
research activities are paid in full from Czech
research grants that I secured.

The estimate of the cost of the Workshop is in
Polish, and given in Polish currency. I enclose
its original in the attachment.

Here is a short summary in English -- 23 participants,
5 full days, and the following items:

1. Accommodation in the Castle...............8.700 PLZ
2. Accommodation in the "Gardener's House"...1.350
3. Conference room...........................1.500
4. Meals....................................13.200
5. Transport, internet, etc. ................1.500

                                 Total......26.250

Out of the 23 participants 7 are Nordic, or being
recently studying at Nordic universities.

Dividing the total costs in proportion to Nordic
participants, gives 8.000 PLZ (Nordic) and
18.250 PLZ (others). I suggest paying 8.000 PLZ
from my Nordic Project at Nordita, and 18.250 PLZ
from my VR grant at Gothenburg University.

Converting this to Danish and Swedish currency,

 8.000 PLZ = 14.500 DKK  to be paid by Nordita
18.250 PLZ = 40.500 SEK  to be paid by Department
                         of Physics, GU

I would appreciate it very much if you could
separately arrange payments of these sums to
the following bank account:

Beneficent:     Z.Z.DPT-Wojnowice-Zamek
Bank:           Bank Zachodni WBK SA O/Sroda Slaska
Account number: 77 1090 2444 0000 0006 1800 3781
SWIFT code:     WBKPPLPP

Best regards,

Marek

PS Helle, I could be that three Nordic students
(Magnus, Linnea, and Askar) will need travel
support to attend. I hope, their universities
will help, but if not, I intend to pay each of
them up to 2.000 DKK from my Nordic Project.

This means that I could take up to 20.500 DKK
from the Project to pay the Workshop.

In addition, I will pay 600 EUR = 4.500 DKK for the
Proceedings of the Nordita Days on QPOs (Editors
Abramowicz and Brandenburg). Axel negotiated an
excellent deal with Astronomische Nachrichten,
our publisher.
