SELECTION PROCEDURE FOR RESEARCH STUDENTS 2002/2003

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR INTERVIEWEES

January 2002

1) All interviews will be held in the main building of the European University Institute, i.e. the Badia Fiesolana, Via dei Roccettini 5-9, San Domenico di Fiesole, on 8 - 12 April 2002 inclusive.

2) Bus Connections from and to the city (www.ataf.net):

Bus n. 7, which covers the following route: Florence railway station (Main Station, Santa Maria Novella), Piazza Indipendenza, Piazza San Marco, Piazza delle Cure (bridge over railway), Piazza Edison, (the road starts climbing here), San Domenico (Fiesole), Fiesole (terminus).

The ride from the station takes about 20 minutes, and you get off at the stop marked 'San Domenico 1' (Citt¨¤ di Fiesole ¨C San Domenico (Fiesole)) after the stop marked 'Osped. di Camerata 1' (NB. THERE ARE SEVERAL STOPS MARKED "San Domenico" AND YOU GET OFF AT THE LAST ONE). At the actual stop you will see a bar/pizzeria on your left and a bar/caf¨¦ on your right. Walk 50 metres straight through the village and take the road on the left opposite the church and cemetery (Via dei Roccettini); the Badia is about 150 metres down this road on the left.

You must buy your bus ticket ("biglietto") before boarding the bus ¨C near the n. 7 bus terminus, next to the station, there is an ATAF bus ticket kiosk (single tickets at € 1,00 each, or blocks of 4 for € 3,90). Once stamped in the machine aboard the bus, the ticket is valid for 60 minutes travel in any direction, on any number of buses. Otherwise, you can buy tickets at tobacconists ("tabacchi") and at most caf¨¦/bars (they will display the orange "Biglietti ATAF" sign on the door). We should point out that the number 7 route, the only one to Fiesole and very popular with tourists, also attracts pickpockets, so take care of your purse, bag/wallet at all times.

4) Places to eat

EUI Coffee Bar and Canteen: Breakfast, Lunch and Snacks:

Breakfast and lunch are served in the EUI canteen at the Badia: the former from 8:30h until 11:30h, the latter from 12:00h to 14:00h, from Monday to Friday. It is probably the cheapest place to eat in the area, as well as being a good place to meet people. For breakfast, you will spend about € 1,23 for a coffee and a bun (compared with € 2,00 in most bars in town), while an average-size lunch will cost approximately € 5,00. The coffee bar stays open after lunch for drinks and snacks, closing at 16:30h.

Pizzerie - there are lots of pizzerie in Florence, but they are not necessarily the cheapest places to eat. At San Domenico, the Pizzeria has fair prices and is open till late. In Florence: Nuti, Borgo San Lorenzo, 39r (area: central market). Da Pepe, Via Pacinotti 5r, tel: 055 574392 (between EUI and town). La Gran Terrazza, Via Gramsci, Fiesole (Terminus of n. 7 bus) is particularly good value.

Trattorie - trattorie also abound in Florence, but there are those where you spend € 9-15,00 for a 3-course dinner (tourist menu) and those where you spend € 30,00 for the same. In the former category, you could try:

Il Contadino, Via Palazzuolo 71/r, tel: 055 2382673 (near the station)

Z¨¤-Z¨¤, Piazza del Mercato Centrale 21/r, tel: 055 215411 (near central market)

Palle d'Oro, Via S. Antonino 43r, tel: 055 288383 (near central market)

Pantera Viola, Via Pacinotti 10/r, tel: 055 588846 (between EUI and town)

Mario, Via Rosina 2/r, tel: 055 218550 (corner of piazza Mercato Centrale)

La Casalinga, Via del Michelozzi 9/r, tel: 055 218624 (piazza Santo Spirito, Oltrarno)

Il Micio, Via Fra Bartolomeo 52/r, tel: 055 573257 (piazza Libert¨¤, between EUI and town)

Kosher/Vegetarian

Ruth¡¯s, Via Farini 2/a¨C tel: 055 2480888 (S. Ambrogio)

5) The Bar

Which bar? The "Bar Fiasco" of course, run by the EUI students and usually open from 17:30h until ... the last client goes home. Over the interview period, there are special opening times and you will most probably find the research student representatives there shortly after lunch, ready to pour out a drink and chat about the Institute. Please do not hesitate to ask them questions - no doubt you will have plenty to ask, and the researchers¡¯ reps, and indeed all students there, will be ready to answer them. The reps will also be handing out copies of the researchers¡¯ own Alternative Prospectus
