Registration Fee

A registration fee of 120 USD in local currency will be collected in cash at the conference desk. Payment of this sum will entitle the participant to admission to the colloquium, participation in the social events and receipt of a copy of the proceedings when published. At the moment 1 USD equals about 2.55 Polish New Zloty (PLN). Old currency banknotes (PLZ) are still used and the rate is: 1 PLN = 10000 PLZ. Here you can have a look at the new banknotes.

A fee for accompanying persons of 30 USD will be asked upon registration at the conference desk. The LOC is willing to organize for them short visits of the city and its surroundings, but only if a significant number of persons is interested.
