Welcome message
WELCOME TO ROMANIA!
Dear participants to the 28th ISC Conference, in the name of the local organizing Committee, I have the great honor to address You a sincere and happy WELCOME!
We are honored to have You as guests and we will try to do our best to offer You the chance to discover the very best part of the Romanian soul: warmness and hospitality.
Hoping that, as usual, this meeting will be another joyful and useful occasion to exchange new data and ideas, we choosed the following logo for this Conference: “Realities and controversies regarding the temporal structure of living creatures”.
And, also, You will have the possibility to discover a town with an ancient and sometimes tragic history, Bucharest, but always with the power of the Phoenix bird: to recover and to offer a renowned hospitality, a very vivid and large offer for those wanting to discover “Bucharest by night”, a time when the nickname “little Paris” become true.
We are expecting you with great pleasure and with the hope to offer You not only extremely interesting plenary lectures, thematic symposia, but also pleasant social activities, a touristic tour, and so on.
And, perhaps, some of You, after what we expect to be a successful experience, will want to come back and discover, as tourists, many enjoyable and full of history places.
