The interactive web page of the Conference providing all detailed information and registration form, abstract form, and accommodation form is available at www.conference.cz/ibrc.

The deadline for early registration will be by 30^th April 2010.

Although the major Symposia proposed for the 15^th IBRC appears to be already well established, there is still space for further proposals and all colleagues who consider to organize either a symposium or a workshop are encouraged to formulate the idea and contact the organizers as early as possible.

The conveners of the symposia should provide the organizers of the Conference with (1) the title of the Symposium and expected number of participants, (b) a brief outline of the Symposium programme (including the major speakers) and (3) address and/or other contact to the conveners. The Symposia are scheduled by half-day blocks of lectures (1 to 4 as a rule, with ca six 20 mins lectures per a block) and can be either composed exclusivelly of the presentations invited by the Symposium convener/s or can be open to contributed items as well, both lectures and poster presentations.

The same holds for the organizers of Workshops: the meetings (shorter than half a day block) focused on the specific issues of the topic, innovative concepts and methods (including practical training), urgent agenda of common interest etc. Any proposal in this respect will be very much appreciated.
