Detailed sessions program
The conference will be held at Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Malostranské náměstí 25, Prague 1, which is in the very historical centre - between the famous Charles Bridge and the Prague castle, former residence of Czech kings...
For Conference location and local transport information see e.g. here or see the location:
Google or
Mapy.cz
From the airport, public transport services can carry you to the centre of the city for just about 1 euro. The public transport service in Prague is cheap, fast, safe, reliable and covers the city very well. A sad but honest advice of the local organizers is: "Being a foreigner, avoid taxis in Prague in general, but especially from the airport!!!!!".
Please note that the program may slightly change.
