Conference will be organized in two parts. Part 1 will be launched during June 21st and 27th 2021, while all papers and recorded presentations will be available on the conference platform. Part 2 of conference will be held in a more personal manner from June 28^th to July 2nd 2021: during noon-time in Central Europe we will listen to two or three key notes associated with topics of session or mini-symposia first, subsequently followed by panel discussions on that keynote and all the other papers accepted on that session. Later we will have some more time for your questions and answers.
