INVITATION

Dear Colleagues!

We continue with the main idea from the 1st Symposium, to gather experts dealing with as many different aspects of invasive species as possible. The duration of the Symposium will be two days, and time of year remained the same as at previous Symposia, enabling presentation of the most recent collected data. We are planning to have good “old-fashioned” meeting in person, but given the Covid-19 circumstances at the time of Symposium, we will enable hybrid meeting combining on-site and on-line participation, if needed.

The Venue is easily accessible by a number of tram lines directly from the main train and bus terminal. Zagreb airport is connected with the city centre by public transport (bus line 290) which operates every 35 minutes (http://www.zet.hr/en) and with shuttle bus operated by Pleso prijevoz. Within walking distance the Venue is surrounded with a wide array of possible accommodations, from low budget to exclusive hotels. Same goes for the places where you can eat. Therefore, we invite you to invade the heart of the city and explore it all (after the sessions, of course). In case you are interested for accommodation in the Hotel Dubrovnik, please contact the Hotel, using this form.
