Symposium Information

REGISTRATION: **VERY IMPORTANT**

Although there is no registration fee we are asking all attendees to register for planning purposes. Registration will be done on-line.

Limited travel assistance is available.

If you are not a US citizen, you are asked to contact Jim Gubernatis, jg@lanl.gov or Avadh Saxena, avadh@lanl.gov before registering to determine if there is enough time to complete the Department of Energy (DOE) required paperwork. The time needed depends on the country of birth.

All symposium attendees must be issued a Department of Energy badge and wear it on Laboratory premises.  

If you are a Laboratory employee, citizen or not, you of course already have that badge.  Non-citizen Laboratory employees should check if their 982 form includes approved access to the second floor conference area of the Study Center.

If you are not a Laboratory employee but a U. S. citizen, you will be issued a visitor badge, valid for the duration of the symposium, upon presentation of a valid government issued picture identification card, (for example, your driver's license or passport). The badge will allow access only to the J. Robert Oppenheimer Study Center, Otowi Cafeteria, and coffee shop in the Los Alamos Industrial Park (Motorola) building. While at the conference, if you wish to visit a Laboratory employee outside of these areas, you will need to have that person arrange the necessary paperwork. 

If you are not a Laboratory employee and not a U. S. citizen, in addition to the registration form, you must fill out the information form for a non-citizen visit request. A copy of this form will be sent to you upon receipt of your registration submission. This information is required by the Department of Energy. You will be issued a badge, valid for the duration of the conference, upon presentation of a valid PASSPORT. The badge will allow access only to the Study Center, cafeteria, and coffee shop in the Industrial Park building. While at the conference, if you wish to visit a Laboratory employee outside of these areas, you will need to have that person arrange the necessary paperwork. 

If you register and need an official letter of  invitation to apply for a travel visa, please contact Jim Gubernatis, jg@lanl.gov, or Avadh Saxena, avadh@lanl.gov, as soon as possible.

Albuquerque is the major air terminal. Los Alamos is best reached from Albuquerque International Sunport by a scenic 1 hour and 45 minute drive. 

Rental cars are available at the Albuquerque airport through all major companies. United Airlines flies into Santa Fe (40 miles from Los Alamos) from Denver.

The Laboratory has a contract with Budget which provides liability, collision and loss coverage on all official Laboratory rentals at NO EXTRA COST.  If one's travel is being reimbursed by the Laboratory, the cost of this insurance is disallowed.
