Prelliminary program

Dear participants,

We would like to inform you that the Preliminary program has been published on the web page of the Orpheus2025 conference -  preliminary program. Some smaller changes in the timeline still might occur so please check for updates at a later stage. We tried to accommodate all your wishes as much as possible, but unfortunately our conference lasts for only 3 days, so we apologize if we haven’t succeeded in full. We kindly ask the authors to check the type of the presentation they have been signed for and prepare accordingly.

 

Dear authors,

Please be kind and find the time and the type of your presentation and prepare your presentation accordingly. All 15 min presentations consist of 12+3 min discussion and invited lectures 25+5 min and strict timeline will be held. You can find instructions for presentation on link: (instructions for presenters). Authors who have an oral presentation are invited to send their presentation to dragan.staparac@travelspot.com or you can hand it and upload it at the registration desk at the Conference.  Please note that using your own laptops will not be possible during oral presentations as it disrupts the timeline.

Look forward to seeing you soon in Cavtat.

Best regards
