Dear Phagocyte Friends and Colleagues,
Here are some TRAVEL TIPS from Attila for this year’s European Phagocyte Workshop, March 22-24, in Budapest, Hungary:
The easiest way to get from the Airport to the venue of the meeting is by taxi. Use Fotaxi, the official carrier of the Budapest Airport (www.fotaxi.hu). They have a taxi booth right at the exit from the arrival hall. The price to the meeting venue is fixed at 6000 HUF or 22 EUR. A 10% tip is expected. Most of the Fotaxi taxis are equipped with secure electronic credit card readers but ask beforehand at the booth if you want to pay with credit card. You can also use Fotaxi for your travel within the city by calling +36-1-222-2222. Alternatively, you can use the airport's shared shuttle service to get to your hotel from the airport.
Flights: The Hungarian Airline MALEV went bankrupt and ceased operation earlier this year. If you still possess a MALEV ticket, contact your travel agent ASAP.

Best regards, Heidi

What is Phagocytes.net?
Phagocytes.net exists to facilitate interaction between research groups in the field of phagocyte biology, mainly by listing phagocyte research groups in Europe, events, and job vacancies. The site is hosted by some of the regulars of the Phagocyte Workshop at the annual meeting of the European Society of Clinical Investigation which is held each spring in a different European country. We’re a mix of groups, ranging from basic to clinical research labs and working on anything from phagocyte development over phagocyte signalling or cell biology to the pathogenesis and treatment of phagocyte-related diseases. Most of us are neutrophil fans, but don’t let that put you off if you prefer monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells or dendritic cells, the site should be useful for all of us.
