Dear Colleagues,
Science means the delight of discovery, the adventure to look for the unknown, the exhausting effort, the joy of the accomplishment, the pride.
Science is the arena where honesty is at its highest. It is there we are humbly trying to discover the undiscovered.
It is there we share our accomplishments, we fight, we promote, we improve, we learn. It is there human cooperation, deep friendship may be cast.
To share, to compete, to succeed, to enjoy,
we are warmly inviting you to attend
