Aleksandr Matrosov will arrive back to Krasnoyarsk in the morning on July 11 (roughly at 8:00 - 9:00 a.m.).

Weather

We would like to attract your attention to the fact that in spite of the rather high July temperature in the Krasnoyarsk Region (+20°C and higher), it is advisable for you to have a sweater or a jacket, since nights at Yenisei may be rather cold.

Posters

Poster boards 1 m wide and 1.5 m high will be provided. Since the poster sessions will be held on the open deck, please prepare your paper as a single poster rather than individual paper sheets.
