We are pleased to inform you that many really good professionals in the area have promised to present their results, so the Conference is expected to be very exciting.
We would like to remind that the deadline for early registration is April 15-th (and it is not going to be extended).
This email is to provide you some additional important information.
1. One of the main objectives of 8-th EMCTB is to improve the educational and professional experience of young scientists.
Therefore, the mentoring scheme is offered
(see http://www.impan.pl/~ecmtb11/index.php?file=ment.html )
and
a Series of Introductory Lectures dedicated to young participants will be delivered.
The event will be held a day before the Conference start - on Monday, 27-th June - in the afternoon at the New Campus of the Jagiellonian University.
Lecturers: Stanislaw Cebrat, Andreas Deutsch, Peter Jagers, Eva Kisdi, Andrea Pugliese.
