A new FACEBOOK PAGE has been created to post your request and to find a suitable host.

FACEBOOK HOST OR BE HOSTED PAGE Click here

HOST OR BE HOSTED suggested rule of thumb: It is up to the host or hosted to set the rules, but we are suggesting that the hosted should, out or courtesy, cover for the host at least the registration fee they paid to participate to ECOWEEK. The exact arrangement(s) between host and hosted are at the absolute discretion of the host and hosted. This is not a service that ECOWEEK is offering and it is not the responsibility of ECOWEEK the outcome of the communication and arrangements between host and hosted.

ACCOMMODATION TIPS: For those of you who are not so familiar with the city of Milano or you are visiting for the first time, here are some accommodation tips*:
> We intend to invite local participants in Milano to host visitors from outside the city. In the past, there was limited response to this call, so do not count very much in being hosted. But we will certainly do our best to help, and we will let you know.
> You are encouraged to look for accommodation online. In case you have managed to find LOW RATES in Milano, please let us know to post it for other participants too!
