The conference is organised by the Junior Star project PragMatika (GA ČR 23-06540M). There is no registration fee to attend the event but, due to the capacity of the venue, attendance will be limited to those who register, with priority given to people whose study or research deals with Bolzano. We particularly encourage contributions from early-stage researchers and graduate students, who can apply for a bursary covering their accommodation and, to a certain extent, travel expenses.
