INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS

Exhibition

Manufacturers, providers, operators and start-upers of new education applications and services will have a chance to exhibit their new products, services and equipment during an exhibition organized as a part of the conference. For more information about the exhibition please contact the conference secretariat (by e-mail / letter / phone).

VISA – Important information

The Organizing committee will not provide participants with an invitation letter on the official form of the alien police for the EU visa purposes. There as on is that such official form assumes organizer (elfa, Ltd.), as the inviting institution, to take all the responsibilites (even financial) for the invited participants. Due to safety reasons, elfa, Ltd. cannot keep such responsibilities for purposes of the ICTEP 2019 conference. We ask the registered participants from non-EU countries with a visa obligation to take this limitation into account seriously.

Council language

Official conference language: English, Slovak and Czech language.

Proceedings

All papers must be submitted in English and will be published in the journal "Scientific Letters", ISSN 1338-9432, after reviewers review. Based on the thematic focus of the submitted papers, the Scientific Committee will recommend them for publication in journals indexed in IEEE Xplore and SCOPUS databases. The abstracts of the papers will be simultaneously published in the ICTEP 2019 conference proceedings on the USB-Carrier.

High Tatras - Vysoké Tatry

an area whose natural beauty makes it one of the most remarkable recreation areas not only in Slovakia but in all of Europe. Among other things, the High Tatras offer exceptionally clean air and a unique climate, leaving every visitor feeling better, especially those who take advantage of the many health spa treatments available. Hiking paths, ranging from gentle to highly demanding, wind among spectacular peaks and rock walls.

Grand Hotel Stary Smokovec

has been writing its long history in the heart of the High Tatras under Mt. Slavkovský štít since 1904. This first big hotel in the Tatras has been visited by various eminent personalities – Saxon prince Friedrich August, Czechoslovak president Eduard Beneš, British prime minister Harold Wilson, Fidel Castro and many others. In spite of disturbed times and two world wars, Grandhotel **** has remained an inseparable part of Starý Smokovec and its atmosphere.

Accomodation is not covered by registration fee and participants are fully responsible for making their own arrangements in Council Venue: www.grandhotel.sk !

TOURIST INFORMATION

The High Tatras Mountains, the pearl of the Slovak countryside, extend over the north of the country. The peaks rise steeply over Liptov, Poprad ans Spiš basin. The main ridge is 26 km long and more than twenty peaks are higher than 2500 m above the sea level. Although its total area is only 260 km2 a very characteristic Alpine world exists there. There are 32 Tatra valleys, all of glacial origin and in most of them there is at least one tarn, called "pleso". It greatly enhances the charm of the wild rocky valleys.

The mountain range is divided into eastern (the High Tatras) and western sections (the West Tatras). The tallest peak is Gerlach, spiking to a summit at 2655 meters above sea level.

The High Tatras offers many facilities for individual tours into valleys, to mountain chalets and peaks along well-marked paths. Good footwear and warm clothes with raincoats are required. There are three main tourist centres in the High Tatras: Starý Smokovec, Tatranská Lomnica, and Štrbské pleso. Each season of the year in the Tatras has its particular spell but autumn, when the conference will be held, is the most delightful season when the weather usually is stable.
