Program
Once you register you will only need to book yourself a hotel room. We will take care of your program from June 10 until the end of the meeting. This includes transportation to the woods on the morning of June 12 and back. You will have two basic options: return back to your hotel from the woods by a bus late at night on June 12 or stay at the campsite (in provided huts or in your own tent) and return back to Prague on June 13. We will provide a bus on June 13 in the morning. An extra option on June 13 will be to rent a canoe and leave the campsite in it (and then go back to Prague on your own from a train station by the river where you return the canoe). You will be asked to indicate your choices during registration.
Participation
Participants will participate and their participation will be certified with Certificates of Participation. Participants will be invited to propose ways to contribute to the conference during registration. Creative suggestions most welcome. Suggestions will be reviewed, revised, rejected, accepted and incorporated into the program.
Program
A preliminary program will be revealed on May 1, 2025. The element of surprise is crucial though and the final program will only be available at the start of the conference. This is just the overall structure of the program. The full program will be finalized as the date draws near.
