Following the tradition of EEE community we are organising the pre-conference. This is a great opportunity for participants to feel comfortable in a hosting country, spend some quality time in nature surroundings and make connections within a group.

The 2023 EEE pre-conference will take place on 24th – 27th of April 2023. We invite you to Białka Tatrzańska, which is a village in Podhale – a mountainous region in southern Poland. During our time there we will have a chance to hike, raft, climb and relax in thermal pools. All this accompanied by traditional local cuisine and amazing views of the highest mountains in Poland – Tatra.

Our main goal is to get everyone closer to each other through various activities – depending on the group’s preferences. We have several options prepared, but the final programme is up to the group.

Most of the meals we will eat together at a traditional-styled venue. Additionally, we will have an opportunity to taste the delicious local specialties.
