• Registration is now closed. 

There is no registration fee but be aware that meals and accomodation are not covered. Registration is compulsory, as you will be registered in a list to be able to enter the campus. For registration click here. 
We advice participants to get accomodation near the University campus. Here are some alternatives:

• Tequendama Suites Bogotá This is the hotel we use for the participants supported for accomodation. WARNING: Do not confuse this with the nearby but different building "Tequendama Hotel".
• Ibis Bogota Museo Just across the street from the previous one.
• Hotel Muisca
• La Candelaria Hostel

At arrival:
We recommend participants to take a taxi/uber from the airport to their accommodation (unless your hotel has a transport service, in which case this is also a good option). If you get a taxi you will need to either exchange or withdraw some money at the airport. The taxi will cost you around 20000 colombian pesos (say around 7-8 US dollars), maybe a bit less or a bit more (most of them only accept cash). You can see the exact amount in the taximeter + a charge of about 4500 pesos for airport ride (and if you arrive during the night there will be also an extra charge for that). You will find at the airport an official taxi cue from which you should get yours (they are all yellow btw).
If you are staying at Suites Tequendama make sure you give the address to the driver as Suites Tequendama is sometimes mistaken by Hotel Tequendama. Both are in the same area but you can avoid misunderstandings. See the map below for a suggested route. 

About Bogotá:
Bogotá is 2650 meters above the sea, please keep in mind this is not yet the caribbean! Its neither very cold nor very warm, temperature oscillates between 15 to 25 C degrees during the day, and it drops a bit during the night, so do bring a jacket or sweater with you.
Electrical plugs are as in the US, so try to bring an adapter is you don't have this type of plug. Here you can find more information about electrical plugs.
