Singapore, January 8 - 12, 2018

Hotels are expensive in Singapore.
We have organized a sponsored, cheap but convenient accommodation for participants and accompanying persons at the conference venue.
The main activities of the conference will take place at Hwa Chong Institution (HCI). Limited accommodations are available directly at the MPCS-II conference venue at Hwa Chong Institution. Hwa Chong Institution is a complex of several buildings, which features comfortable accommodation facilities and other amenities including conference rooms, sport amenities etc. The main conference venue will be directly in the HCI compound.
Moreover, Hwa Chong Institution is located a walking distance away from Tan Kah Kee MRT Station (Subway/train) which offers a quick and direct rail transport to the airport and city center via the Downtown Line. More information about the accommodations can be found at http://www.hcibs.edu.sg
Some activities will take place in the Nanyang Technological University. In this case the transportation will be provided between the Hwa Chong Institution and University. Transportation will also be provided for all social events.
Limited number of single (139.10 SGD per night) and twin sharing (160.50 SGD per night) rooms with private bathrooms available for booking for MPCS-II at HCI. Note that the "single" and "twin sharing" are the same rooms just configured to the relevant number of occupants.
The costs for the rooms are indicated on a "per-room" basis, i.e. 2 guests occupying the twin sharing room would pay a total of 160.50 SGD per night.
Free meals are provided: Monday to Friday – Breakfast and Dinner; Saturday and Sunday/PH- Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The conference will also organize the own catering.
