The Balkan meetup will be comprised of 3 parts :


<br> Conference rooms in hotels in Skopje can be quite expensive, and would attribute a too formal note on the whole event, the University should give a more informal and yet creative and open event.

* Day 2: [Public event] presentations given by staff and community to the general public (FREE and open to everyone who registers) in university auditorium + workshops

== Contact People ==
[[User:Jovanovski|Gorjan Jovanovski - Local Community Leader]]


<strike>A lot of hotels are available, April till June is the conference season so we can get good package prices for conference rooms and accommodation depending on the number of people attending.</strike>
= Goals =


<strike>We should see if we can also book a mini-bus or some kind of transportation to bring people from Skopje to Ohrid. Its a 2 hour drive, buses run every hour if we take public transport. But we should still organize the transport from the bus station in Ohrid to the hotel.</strike>

Hm.. This will be too much strain on the organizers, to accept, review and select the papers. And it is already to late to launch the call 2 months before the event. Maybe a wiki page were people will state what they know and can share, and what they want to learn and discover on the camp.
