> Accommodation
> The organizing committee made reservations for several rooms at three different hotels in Leiden. Hotels are pretty expensive in Leiden, single rooms start at around 90,- Euros, a double room will start at 100 Euro. Therefore it will be best to share a room as much as possible. You can use one of these pre-reserved rooms or you can book an yourself and may look at the following website: www.leidenpromotie.nl/horeca/index_acc.htm.
