Detailed information about EPCC 2024: The
lectures will traditionally take place in the Fotochemie lecture room,
Viničná 7, Prague 2 (50.072370679448355,
14.424248584525971; ground floor, the first room in the corridor on the
left).
Posters will be located in the corridor in front of the lecture room. The
poster boards allow for poster size A0. Each poster will be presented in the
form of a short lecture - flash talk (max. 3 minutes presentation, max. 2
ppt slides, no possibility to answer questions), and the discussion at the
posters will take place during extended coffee breaks.
Coffee breaks will take place in the corridor in front of the lecture
room and in the adjacent atrium.
This conference does not require any fee from the participants due to the
very informal and therefore inexpensive way of organization; newly also thanks
to the sponsorship donation. Coffee breaks are part of the conference.
Participants arrange their own meals and accommodation. Further information and
recommendations are given below:
Lunches: as the faculty is located very close to the center of Prague,
there are many restaurants nearby. We will offer a list of the nearest
restaurants during the conference. As every year we will organize a conference
dinner on Thursday evening. We will inform the participants about the form.
Accommodation: the area is rich in accommodation services of various
levels. Most of the accommodation facilities have online booking available. We
ask participants to arrange accommodation according to their requirements.
