Participants will receive a name badge upon registration. Everyone is kindly requested to wear his/her name badge when attending the event. Only participants who are wearing their name badge will be admitted to the lecture halls.
Acommodation
Accommodation for most of the participants will be provided in the upper floors of the University Centre Telč , which is also the conference venue. The invited speakers and the rest of the participants will be accommodated in the Hotel U Hraběnky and at Hotel Antoň . Both hotels are just a five-minute walk from the conference venue (see the map below).
The participants are kindly requested to check in at the registration desk of UCT or their hotel on Thursday, 20 April during the extended coffee break (16.00-17.30). A storage room to store the luggage until then will be provided.
The latest checkout time from the UCT is 9.00. The latest checkout time for Hotel u Hraběnky and Hotel Antoň is 11.00. It will be possible to leave the luggage in the UCT luggage room after the checkout.
The participants will share rooms with two, three or four beds. We will try our best to follow the accommodation preference specified at the registration. All participants will be informed about their allocated place of stay in advance.
Poster presentations
The student poster session will take place on Thursday, 20 April from 19.00 until 21.00, social evening will continue after. The participants are strongly encouraged to hang out their posters as early in the morning as possible (right after the registration or during one of the coffee breaks). The recommended format of the posters is A0, but it is also possible to mount smaller posters to the poster stands.
The official poster session will take 2 hours. We advise students who will be assigned odd poster numbers (1,3,5,...), to be present at your poster during the first hour and the students with even poster numbers (2,4,6,...) to be present at your posters in the second hour so that everyone has time to both present and have a look at other posters.
The poster session will subsequently transfer to the whole-evening social event, where you can continue to discuss research and other topics.
By being selected for a poster, students are automatically enrolled in the TESCAN Best Poster Award, in which other students and our invited speakers will vote for the best poster. The winners are in for a valuable prize.
The voting will be done via voting tickets. Every student will get 2 poster votes, which can be used to support his/her two favorite posters (or just one poster). By the end of the poster session, the tickets will be thrown into a ballot box located at the door to the poster room. The results of the poster session will be announced just before the closing of the conference. In case of a draw, the better poster will be chosen by the speakers.
Student talks
The talks will take place in the lecture hall on the ground floor of UCT. The time for a student talk is 10 minutes. Invited talks should not exceed 30 minutes. The equipment for the presentation (a PC, microphones and a laser pointer) will be provided.
A contest for the best student talk, the TESCAN Best Student Talk Award, similar to the best poster contest, will take place. Every participant will get 1 vote to support their favorite talk of the whole event. The author of the best talk will be also awarded a valuable prize.
