The Mathematical institute of the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts is, jointly with the Academy, organizing a conference in honor of Dragoš Cvetković for his 75th birthday. Professor Cvetković is one of the pioneers of spectral graph theory in mathematics and coauthor of classical monographs in the field, such as Spectra of Graphs-Theory and Applications and Eigenspaces of Graphs.

Accommodation

We would like to ask you to make the hotel reservation by yourself. We recommend hotel Palace, as it is reasonably priced and just 200 meters away from the Academy. You may book this or another accomodation option here.

Travel

Belgrade is well connected by daily flights to major European cities. If you need assistance in booking your flight, you can order it here. You can also ask for a meet-and-greet service at the price of 20 euros (which is free if you happen to be booking your flight here). Alternatively, you can take the minibus A1 from the airport and get off at the main bus station (see its schedule here).

There are also many daily bus and train rides to Belgrade from countries in the region. The main bus and train stations are approximately 500 meters from the hotel Palace.

A valid passport is required to enter Serbia. Depending on your citizenship, visa may also be required - please consult the current visa regime prior to your arrival. If you need an invitation letter for visa purposes, please contact us at graphopt@mi.sanu.ac.rs.

Scientific committee

The local organizers are Dragan Stevanović and Tatjana Davidović.
