Information

The conference office is held in the The Zaremba Association of Mathematicians – Students of the Jagiellonian University, room 544, 5th floor, Institute of Mathematics, Reymonta St. 4.

Participants
Students and PhD students of mathematics and related studies are entitled to take part in the conference. We also sincerely invite research workers or other people interested in the topic.

Language
Because of the international character of the conference, English is the leading language. However, some of the lectures could be done in Polish. In this case the speakers are asked to prepare computer slides or transparent folias written in English.

Conference fee
The basic conference fee is 50 zł (approx. 15 Euro). It covers the costs of conference extras and snacks during the conference days. Moreover, the participant may pay for:
• Accomodation on September 14th-20th (90 zł),
• Breakfasts on September 15th-20th (30 zł),
• Lunches on September 15th-19th (30 zł).
Therefore, the full fee is 200 zł (approx. 60 Euro). For those who give a lecture or present a poster, all the payments are reduced by 40%. Foreign students are kindly asked to pay the conference fee after arriving to Krakow.

Application
Students from abroad who wish to take part in the conference should fill in the application form. Please write a note if you plan to shorten your stay at any point. The deadline for the applications is June 15th, 2008.

Lectures and posters
If you wish to become an active participant of our conference, we invite you to give a speech in front of the auditorium. We suggest two forms of presentation: traditional lecture (30 minutes suggested) or a poster. Each participant is entitled to give a lecture or present a poster. Lectures will be held in two sessions: before and after lunch. When adjusting the level of mathematical difficulty of your lecture, please keep in mind that junior students as well as non-mathematicians participate in the conference. Therefore, we prefer general to detailed and sophisticated lectures and topics. These rules do not apply to posters. We plan one poster session which will take place in the afternoon after lunch. We hope it will help bring sophisticated discussions into life at our conference, maybe in a smaller auditorium but always compelling.
A lecture or a poster should be submitted until June 15th, 2008 with the help of our application form. Apart from personal data and e-mail (or phone), additional information should be submitted in the application form:
• Topic of the lecture or poster;
• The mode of presentation (lecture or poster);
• For lecturers: an abstract, containing no more than 100 words, which will be printed in the book of proceedings, and the estimated duration time.
In June, you will receive additional information giving hints on how to make a lecture or a poster. For active participants who will give a speech at our conference either a lecture or poster the conference fee is reduced by 40%.
A contest for the best lecture or poster will also be held this year. Valuable prizes await winners.
Each year all lectures given during the Workshop are published in a post-conference publication. Therefore, every participant giving a lecture is kindly asked to prepare a file (preferably .tex file) containing the whole text of his speech and supply it to the organizers till the last day of the conference (September 20th).
