Higher Order at Quantum Structures

15-19/09/2025, High Tatras, Slovakia
HOAQS 2025 workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the area of higher-order quantum structures to discuss recent results and current developments. The idea is to have a small number of longer invited talks by experts, who may take their time to explain their favorite topic in more detail to a focused audience, and to provide ample time for discussions. Other participants may contribute to a poster session.

The workshop will take place in the conference center of Slovak Academy of Sciences, which is located at the foot of High Tatras (highest Carpathian mountain area) near the village Stará Lesná. Here is the link to venue: https://kcacademia.sav.sk/en/.
The closest and thus most convenient airport is in Košice. There are for example flights between Košice and Vienna (Austrian Airlines), but also other European cities by other carriers. From airport you can take BUS 23 to Train Station in Košice (last stop called Staničné námestie) in roughly 20 minutes (unfortunately BUS operates only once an hour most of the day, thus taking a taxi might be more efficient). Tickets for trains to POPRAD, which go every hour, can be bought online and the ride takes roughly 1,5 hours.
Once you reach POPRAD train station we plan to pick you up and drive you to the venue.
Alternatively, you can fly to Vienna, take direct bus to Bratislava train station (service operated by Slovak Lines) and take the train to Poprad. However, it is expectable that Vienna to Poprad travel time will be a round 5,5 hours.
Similarly, you can fly to Budapest. Connections from Budapest to Poprad are more scarce, usually require one change and take more than 6 hours. Exception is direct bus connection by FlixBus.
Nearest airport in Poland is in Krakow. Typically to get to Poprad you need to take BUS for 3 hours and a train for one more hour. Totaling travel time from Krakow again typically to six hours. In the morning there is a direct FlixBus connection to Poprad that takes only 3 hours, but it goes only four times a day.
Please be aware that the workshop has limited capacity.
If you are interested to participate please fill in the registration form.
Acceptance of participation will be announced before 31.8.2025.
CONFERENCE FEE (accepted participants will be informed about the payment details)
600 € double room
720 € single room
The conference fee includes accommodation, all meals and coffee breaks.
Organizers: Anna Jenčová, Michal Sedlák, Mário Ziman
The meeting is organized by Qute.sk, Institute of Physics and Mathematical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.
