The preliminary list of participants is available at our conference web page.

         1. Scientific programme:

The official programme will start on September 3 (Monday) and close on September 8 (Saturday) at noon. It will consist of invited lectures and 20-minute contributed talks.

We have the following invited speakers:

Gumm, H. P.: "Universal coalgebra - a theory based systems and beyond"
McKenzie, R.: "Operations with posets-models of Tarski's high school identities"
Rosicky, J.: "Algebraic theories and varieties"

Each of them will give several one-hour lectures on the indicated topic.

The programme will be organized so that there is enough time for discussions and tourist activities. As usual, we plan one day free of lectures.

         2. Arrival and accommodation:

The conference will take place in the hotel EURO (formerly known as Bank Recreational Centre).
