You are encouraged to make early travel arrangements, since
summer is a busy travel period in southern California. San Diego
can be reached conveniently by air, train (Amtrak stations in Solana
Beach and San Diego), automobile, or intercity bus from Los Angeles
or Tijuana. The UCSD campus is located in La Jolla and is approximately
15 miles (24 km) north of the San Diego airport. A rental car is
recommended for extensive travel around San Diego; seek the best
weekly rate.
VISAS/DOCUMENTS
IUPAC sponsorship implies that entry visas will be granted to all
bona fide chemists, provided application is made not less than three
months in advance. Because of US security concerns, the process
should be undertaken as early as possible. Information about embassies
and consulates that issue visas can be obtained from the Department
of State. Another source of information and assistance is the
International Student
& Scholar Office at the UCSD International Center open M
- F 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM; Phone: (858)-534-3730. Attendees who plan
to visit Mexico may need a multiple-entry visa.
If a visa is not granted one month before the meeting, the applicant
should notify the IUPAC Secretariat (e-mail: secretariat@iupac.org)
without further delay.
A letter from the ICPOC organizers, which describes the conference
and certifies an attendee's participation, can be provided on request.
