Before accommodation in the hostel of Samara University, it is necessary that each participant has a PCR test and receive a negative result, after arriving on the territory of the Russian Federation.

In this regard, all participants of the School have to arrive in advance in Samara on August 24 or 25 in order to have time to pass the PCR test and receive its result. The School management decided to organize preliminary accommodation of the School participants in the Oktyabrskaya Hotel (15 minutes walk to Samara University) for a period from August 24 to 27, as well as a PCR test for each participant. Accommodation at the Oktyabrskaya Hotel and two PCR tests (on arrival and before departure) are not included in the registration fee and are paid by the School participant independently (the cost of accommodation is from $12 to $25 per day, the cost of each PCR test is $25). Check-in of the School participants at the Oktyabrskaya Hotel will take place from 14.00 on 24 August. Participants who arrive in Samara before August 24 will have to independently look for a place to stay before checking into a hotel.

Also, if you wish, you can take an PCR test at the Airport in Moscow and come to Samara with the result.
