Hello, I will send a more elaborate mail shortly (with a longer explanation), but to put it into a few words, I need to know: a) a rough estimate of the number of people who are planning to come to Bohinj from 20th-25th August b) [REALLY IMPORTANT] some preliminary talks held by people with any kind of academic references For a), I will put a web form online within a few days (so no hurry until then) For b), I would like to ask people (apart from Hans and Taco, who will get another mail) who have any kind of academic references (being a professor, having some reasonable citation index, obtaining any kind of grants (Idris?), being editor of any journals, being a Nobel laureate :) or whatever else) and are planning to come, to drop me a private mail. I will try to apply for funding (for organisation of scientific meeting) to lower the fee. The chances to get that funding is low, but still worth trying, and the number & quality of foreign speakers is one of criteria to be able to get the funding. The meeting will last for 5 days (4 full days, 5 times sleeping there), the fee most probably won't exceed 200 EUR (including accomodation, food, conference materials and at least one half-day or full-day excursion), and there are 4 low-cost airports around (*Ljubljana - Easyjet & Wizzair, Maribor, Trieste, Klagenfurt). Thanks a lot, Mojca
