The 12th International Conference of the Iranian Women's Studies Foundation
Stockholm 15-17 June 2001

Information Communiqé No.2 of the Coordinating Committee


To facilitate the practicalities of the conference the Co-ordinating Committee draws the attention of all participants who are planning to travel to Sweden to the following:

Reserve your accommodation as soon as possible!

Considering that other big international conferences are being convened concurrently with our conference in June, and taking into consideration the Swedish traditions of advance booking, we strongly advise all participants to make accommodation reservations as soon as possible.

Here, as elsewhere, apart from the usual hotels and motels, there are also tourist centres or tourist homes suited to the simpler requirements of students and younger travellers. One of these, close to the location of the conference, is the Solna tourist home (Solna Vandrarhem) which we believe is acceptable in terms of location, price, and quality of housing.

You can get more information and make reservations by phone, fax, or, directly through the internet.

In addition to Swedish, the staff speak German and English. You can also directly get in touch with Arastoo, the Farsi speaking member of staff, who is available throughout the week after 15.00 (Swedish time).

If you have access to internet, the easiest way is to visit the site of this tourist complex.
