The meeting is held in an informal atmosphere, presentations are given in a format preferred by the speaker, spontaneous discussions are encouraged, non-resolved and entirely new scientific topics are preferred. The meeting will not shy away from any topic regarding our scientific community and its interests. An unbinding schedule of the meeting will be available here (soon).
Travel and accommodation:
Prague can be reached easily by plane, train or bus. From the Václav Havel International Airport, public trolleybus no. 59 will bring you to the Metro (subway) system. Buses and trains arrive in the city center within reach of the Metro system.
Tips on the hotels are easier obtained from online booking services than from the locals, these days. Look for a hotel in the Prague 2 section of the city of Prague. There are many hotels in the Sokolská and Legerova streets, in walking distance to the location of the meeting.
The nearest Metro stations to the venue are the I. P. Pavlova Metro station and Vyšehrad Metro station, both within walking distance.
