CIRCULAR of the 19th Alps-Adria Scientific Workshop 26th April - 1st May 2020, Wisła -

Prepared by: Circular issued: Circular valid until: Zoltán Kende 15/10/2019 01/05/2020 secretary FIRSTLY

THANKFOR CONSIDERING YOU US!

I believe that science in general may help us in approaching the truth in our lives. Also I believe in the dissemination of scientific results in a controlled, broad and open access way to the public. Our Alps-Adria workshop series provides a forum for scientific experts in the field of agricultural and environmental sciences. The workshop is one of the most ambitious agricultural forums of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It has a mission to disseminate novel research results in favour of improving our world. The organizers would say thanks to the participants and the partners of the past workshops, and also welcome the current reader who may feel the benefits of our proposal. We do hope that they may become future partners or participants as well.

The main goal of the Workshop is to rehabilitate relationship among scientific and professional communities linked by historical ties, but separated by historical events. This cooperation offers an opportunity for the career starter generation, PhD students and young researchers to enter the international scene, to learn how to make a poster, to deliver a presentation in English language, to publish pieces of work and to create relationship with others.

4 ABOUT US

...OUR SO FAR STORY

That was the time, year 2002, when the Alps-Adria conference was first organised by the scientific committees of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS). The first one was - if only to respect tradition - organised in Opatija, and then the venue of the event was gradually moved around the region: the second one was organised in Trogir, the third one in Dubrovnik, the fourth one in Portorož in Slovenia and then the next one back in Opatija. In year 2007 the conference was organised in Obervellach in Austria, to be followed by one in Stará Lesná in the High Tatras in 2008. The eighth was hosted by Neum in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The next conference was held in Špičák, a mountainous resort place in the . The tenth anniversary of the conference series was celebrated in Opatija in 2011. The conference series moved then to Smolenice in . The 12th workshop was a peculiar event providing various locations in Croatia and in Italy since soil fertility was the main topic with an outlook on karst formation. The venue of the next conference was in Villach Ossiacher See, Austria. The fourteenth meeting was organised in Neum, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 15th Jubilee workshop was held on the island of Losinj, a marvellous and unique spot in the Adriatic Sea. The sixteenth workshop was in Opatija, Croatia and the 17th Scientific Workshop was in Hnanice, Czechia. The th18 Alps-Adria Scientific Workshop organized in Cattolica - Rimini, Italy and now we would like to meet you in Wisla, Poland on the 19th Workshop between 26th April and 1st May, 2020.

Schedule 13:00 pm ­– Departure from Hotel Stok 13:30 pm – Visiting the Brewery Museum 17:30 pm - Arrival to the Hotel Photo: muzeumbrowaru.pl Żywiec is one of the best-known Polish beers. For years, while respecting its brand traditions, the brand has grown and matured together with its customers, and the advertisements of this brand have always been an intriguing commentary on the reality surrounding them.

Slogans such as “Prawie robi wielką różnicę” (‘Almost’ makes a huge difference) have entered the for good. Today, Żywiec still surprises with clever wordplay and imagery, exciting the emotions of consecutive generations of beer-lovers.

The history of brewing in the Żywiec area reaches back more than 700 years. In 1327, Żywiec was awarded city status, and both in the city and at the castle several small breweries were in operation. At the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, artisans from Kraków, Silesia, and the Czech lands came to the city, among them brewers and barrel makers. In the city and its surroundings, a great deal of beer was brewed. Prince Przemysław, who ruled the Żywiec lands until 1433, grated the townspeople the right to grow barley and produce beer, protecting their rights by establishing the so-called “protected mile”, under the conditions of which it was unlawful to produce beer within a one-mile radius of the city. Until the 19th century, brewing in the Żywiec area developed slowly but steadily. The breakthrough occurred during the 19th century, in a period of scientific discovery, when small-scale rural and urban breweries were replaced by large, industrial breweries. In this excursion the participants will visit the Brewery Museum with a very interesting exhibition on the brewery’s activity from the beginning to the present day. There will be an opportunity to purchase souvenirs and gadgets related to the brewery and tasting beer directly from the brewery.
