Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
How do I get a receipt for the registration fee?
A: Registration is handled by the company
named Eventbrite. The result of registration is a ticket,
which you receive via email. That
ticket contains all necessary information to serve as a
receipt.
Q: My school requires a certificate of
participation. How do I get one?
A: Contact one of the organizers.
Q: I would like to edit my response to
the questionnaire. How can I do that?
A: Send an email with your request to Alex
Martsinkovsky. You will then receive a personal link which
would take you directly to your
response with prior answers.
Q: How can I submit the title and
abstract of my talk?
A: This is done by completing the
questionnaire. If you already did that, you could edit your
response,
as described in the previous
answer. If you are only submitting the title and abstract
but no other
data, you could send them directly
to Alex Martsinkovsky.
Q: Will we have
time to go to the beach?
A: Absolutely! AlmerÃa has beautiful
beaches right in the city and the sunset time during the
conference
days is around 21:30.
Q: Is it safe to swim at the city
beaches?
A: Yes, but, like anywhere else, exercise
caution during strong winds. Another thing to keep in mind,
especially if you prefer to swim
away from the shore, are jellyfish. When they are spotted, a
specially
equipped boat goes back and forth
along the shore and removes the intruders from the water. If
you
are an active swimmer, you may
want to use swimming goggles. In the rare event that you are
stung
by a jellyfish, the locals wash
the affected area with sea water (never with fresh water).
For itch relief,
use dry ice or water with baking
soda.
Q: Is it safe to swim at the wild
beaches outside the city and around the Cabo de Gata area?
A: Not necessarily. Beware strong
undercurrents.
