Your health and safety is of the utmost importance to us. As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the organizing committee made the decision to move the 14th International Scientific Conference „Society. Integration. Education” (SIE) to a virtual format. It will be a completely virtual event on the 22nd of May 2020.

While we cannot replicate the same experience of being together in person, we will do our best to create an event that will continue to move you and our scientific research forward. You can participate in sessions and view live presentations using Webex online meeting tool. Please, feel free to ask questions using the Chat window at the end of the colleagues’ presentations.

If you do not have any experience using Webex or you are not sure about your equipment, we offer you the test workshop meeting to test the equipment and get familiar with Webex. On 15.05.2020, you can join us any time from 15:00 till 18:00 (UTC+3). Our tech team members will be online and will provide support and assistance; some chairpersons also will be available at that time.
