Lectures and communications
The main conference language is English. This does not apply to the jubilee session devoted to the scientific achievements of Prof. Zofia Spiak, in which only brief information in English will be provided.
Time assigned for lectures and communications:
- plenary lectures: 25 minutes,
- plenary communications and communications in parallel sessions: 15 minutes.
After each of the lectures and communications, there will be a few minutes for questions

no later than half an hour before the session begins.

Posters
Posters should be printed in the B1 portrait format (size i70 x 100 cm) or smaller. Posters should be mounted on numbered boards before the beginning of Part 1 of the poster session (June 23, 16.00) and displayed until the end of Part 2 (June 24, 16.30). The organizers will provide assistance in mounting the posters.
