We would like to emphasize that ICSSS does not include accomodation. Students are required to make their own arrangements, either at the Student Hotel – or somewhere else.
* Participants are free to arrange their housing through providers in the private sector such as Airbnb and Booking.com. However, the International Cyber Security Summer School has arranged a 15% discount for participants to stay at The Student Hotel for the duration of the course (i.e. 21st-26th August). This venue is close to the city center, thus commuting to- and from the summer school activities is a breeze. You are not required to take this deal and you are welcome to stay in a hotel of your choice.
