We are planning to do live webcast of plenary talks, and

talks together with presentation files (if available) will be put on
our web page after the presentation. Technical details to see
live/recorded webcast will be announced on the conference website.
Please email us in advance in case you do not want to be broadcasted.
We would like to ask you to send us files (ps, pdf, or ppt) of your
presentation, if possible in advance. They will be put on the web page

Tsukuba is located about 60 km north of Tokyo and about 40 km
northwest of the
Narita International Airport .
The Tsukuba Center and the above mentioned hotels
are in the central area of Tsukuba.
How to reach Tsukuba is explained in the web page

The easiest way is to take a direct bus service, called the Airport
Liner "NATT'S", from the Narita Airport through Tsukuba Center to
Tsuchiura Station. Tickets are available at the "Airport Limousine
Keisei" counter on the 1st floor in the arrival lobby.
( Remind that the "Airport Limousine Bus" counter on the same floor,
by another company, does not take care of the NATT'S bus service.)
The fare is 2,540 yen per person.
The bus leaves the Airport every ~ 90 minutes
(see the time schedule), and it takes about one hour and 40 minutes to
Tsukuba Center. There are four bus stops: "Shin-Tone-Machi" (which is
skipped occasionally), "Hitachino-Ushiku Station", "Tsukuba Center"
and "Tsuchiura Station"; you should ride off the bus at Tsukuba Center
(not Tsuchiura Station). For alternative ways to come to Tsukuba,
please consult our web page.
The last NATT'S bus leaves the Airport at 20:00.
If you cannot arrive at the Narita Airport in time,
please email us
(
lat03@rccp.tsukuba.ac.jp : Closed )
with "Subject: Lattice 2003 arrival time"
and details of the arrival flight (flight number, arrival time, etc.),
no later than July 4 .
All the speakers, in the plenary, parallel and poster sessions, are
kindly asked to write their contribution to the proceedings. According
to the tradition, the proceedings will be published in Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplement.
Further information will be given at the conference.
The LOC is deeply concerned with the recent rapid spread of SARS.
Although no SARS patients have been reported in Japan so far, social
responsibility of an international conference is high. We are facing a
dilemma between our sincere desire to encourage world-wide exchange of
research activities and the responsibility to keep the safety of all
participants and the people around. We would like to ask all of you to
avoid danger
(wash hands regularly, refrain dangerous places -- hospital, air port, ... -- as much as possible, etc.)
and to watch your health conditions critically.
When you find possibility of
infection, no matter how small it is, please cancel the participation.
The quarantine process at Narita Airport is described in
We appreciate your understanding.
During June 14--19, the LOC will be accessible in the day time at

In Tsukaba, the rainy season started in early June, which
usually ends around mid-July. So, we recommend to bring a rain-gear such as an umbrella or a raincoat.
The temperature will be about 20-30 degrees and
the humidity will be high.

please visit the Yahoo weather,
for instance.
An interpolation between Tokyo and Mito will give a good enough
approximation.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Tsukuba.
