SECOND ANNOUNCEMENTScientific programme of the conference
SAD NEWSOn April 18, the chairman of the Białowieża Workshop Organizing Committee, Professor Anatol Odzijewicz passed away. During the upcoming Workshop we will commemorate the legacy of Professor Odzijewicz in creating of the Białowieża Workshop on Geometric Methods in Physics and his scientific achievements.Special SessionThis year a Special Session will be dedicated in memory of Bogdan Mielnik, a teacher of many participants of our Workshops, who passed away in January 2019. He was a very wise man with an extremely individual way of thinking. He participated in all our recent Workshops, made important contributions to the program and gave many original talks. The session will take place on Monday, June 20. The organizing committee of the Special Session consists of A. Odzijewicz (Białystok), D. Fernández (Mexico City) and P. Kielanowski (Mexico City).Virtual participationThe health restrictions due to Covid-19 have been lifted in Poland, so we strongly encourage the personal participation in the Workshop, but let us mention that the virtual participation is also possible.Place and TimeBiałowieża, which is the traditional site of our Workshop, is located at the very border between Poland and Belarus. Recently this region experienced some tensions due to the migrant crisis and the war in Ukraine and this might jeopardize the harmonious organization of our Workshop in the usual place. In order to secure the right conditions for our Workshop we have decided to exceptionally move (only for this year's meeting) the site of our Workshop to the campus of our University in Białystok. The arrival date is Saturday, June 18. The scientific activity will run from Sunday, June 19 till Saturday, June 25.The city of Białystok is located some 80 kilometers from Białowieża at the edge of Knyszyn Forest. It is the capital of the Podlachia region and has a rich history which merges Polish, Jewish, Belarussian and even Tatar cultures. The touristic landmark of the city is a baroque palace complex built by hetman Branicki.  Please consult these links for more information about Białystok and surrounding area: Wikipedia page about Białystok Wikipedia page about Knyszyn Forest Photos from previous conferences and Białowieża Białowieża volumeOver the past several years, we published a Białowieża volume containing selected contributions of participants of the Workshop in the series Trends in Mathematics by Birkhäuser, see here for more information. Pending funding, the volume will also be published this year. Details will be announced during the conference.Transportation to BiałystokDue to the change of localization, this year there will be no conference bus from Warsaw.There is a good train connection from Warsaw to Białystok. It is possible to go by train from the Chopin Airport to the Warsaw Central train station and from there catch a train to Białystok. The trip takes around 2.5 hours. There is also a fair number of bus connections available, please consult e.g. an on-line bus connection finder e-podroznik.pl or train information. Additional information can be found on our travel page. Registration feeDue to the change of localization, there are some changes in this section.The conference fee is €150.
