The preliminary program as a PDF file.

Remark: Depending on the budget situation, the excursion to the island Kornat will most likely require an additional participation (i.e. it is not covered by the conference fee, in particular not the lunch served on board). How much the participation cost will be, we will be able to tell the participants after we negotiate the best possible price and scenario.
