Opening Ceremony and useful details about the conference

Izsan Csaba — 2023-09-07T18:22:09Z

Dear Participants of the Rural History 2023 Conference,

As the first day of the conference approaches, we would like to share some important details and useful information with You regarding the event.

Please note that the registration will be closed between 9:00 and 10:00 AM on Monday!

Please note that due to construction works in the Universității street, access to the Main building of the university is possible through the secondary entrance of the building (from Emmanuel de Martonne street) and not from the main entrance on M. Kogălniceanu street.

Please also note the fact that school will start on 11th of September in Romania, thus the majority of school opening ceremonies will be organised on Monday morning, the first day of the conference, causing a bigger traffic agglomeration and slower public transport than usual in Cluj. It will be better to attend the opening ceremony of the conference, as later the traffic will get worse. Please take this note into consideration, and leave Your accommodation earlier than the recommended time of travel on Google Maps or Moovit on Monday morning.

The short programme of the Conference opening as it follows:

8.30-9.00: Introductory speeches and general information
