Scientific retreat:

The established practice of the conference is to organize outdoor scientific retreat where participants may spontaneously continue discussions in less formal setting. The retreat will consist of 3-day kayak trip in one of the most beautiful areas in North East Poland. The retreat includes camping in tents and cooking on campfire (both weather permitting). The kick-off party dinner with traditional Polish food will take place at a country farm near starting point of the kayak trip. Information regarding necessary camping equipment will be sent by email to retreat participants.

It is easily reached by public transport or taxi. We suggest to book accommodation either in the vicinity of the campus (convenient but unattractive) or near city centre and Old Town (requires transport but much more pleasant).
