connection between Warszawa and Kraków (express or Inter City trains go every hour during day, journey lasts about
3 hours).
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
The papers based on conference presentations will be published in peer-reviewed journals:
- International Journal of Materials Research,
- Solid State Phenomena,
- Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica.
All the authors, whose abstracts are accepted, are invited to submit a manuscript of the paper. Two printed copies
of the manuscript and the electronic version on CD should be delivered during the conference to the conference
desk. The template for preparation of manuscripts is available at the conference website. Based on the scientific
excellence and the subject area, the manuscripts will be selected for submission to International Journal
of Materials Research, Solid State Phenomena or Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica.
LANGUAGE
The language of the conference will be English.
EXHIBITION
The conference will be accompanied by a specialized research instrumentation and services exhibition. Interested
companies and institutions are invited to present their exhibition stand during EM2014.
