Slovak and Czech Annual Symposium
About the Symposium
The Slovak and Czech Annual Symposium is a semi-formal, one-day conference that brings together Czech and Slovak students, expats, and professionals in Switzerland, as well as anyone interested in our culture. Participants can learn from respected academics and professionals from various fields and network with our speakers and other attendees. This year we cover topics from various fields such as natural sciences, computer science, business, and personal development. The 2022 Annual Symposium features two keynote talks, six roundtables, and elevator pitches for students on a range of topics including research & development, economics, international relations, life in Switzerland, and social issues. Join us for a day full of inspiring talks and stimulating discussions, and take the opportunity to connect with like-minded students and professionals who are interested in shaping the local community. Happy networking to all!

Talk
Each oral presentation is 15 minutes in length, including time for questions and discussion. This is a great opportunity to share your research, career achievements, or business with a broad, non-expert audience. To ensure the success of your presentation, we recommend adapting your content to be accessible to a general audience.
Poster
If you have a visual or interactive project that doesn't require much verbal explanation, a poster presentation at the Slovak and Czech Annual Symposium (SCAS) may be the perfect fit for you! This format is particularly suitable for students, start-ups, and non-profit organizations looking to make a quick, high-impact contribution to the conference. So don't hesitate to show us what you've got during the all-day accessible poster session!
Elevator Pitch
It's time to shine! Students and freelancers can elevate their work with an Elevator Pitch. This 5-minute talk is the perfect opportunity to grab the attention of the audience and stand out from the crowd. The pitches will take place during the morning and afternoon sessions, so you'll have plenty of time to network during the day. Don't miss out on this chance to take your career to new heights!
Networking Table
Join us for the networking tables and make valuable connections while enjoying coffee and small snacks during the afternoon break. This is a great opportunity for professionals to connect with fans, customers, or followers in a personal way and explain their activities to a public audience. If you are interested in actively participating in a networking table, please indicate this during registration and we will be in touch.
