Ukrainian Catholic University
Lviv, Ukraine
Conference Information
The ASEEES-MAG Summer Convention will take place at the University Centre of the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. The building address is: Kozelnytska St, 2, Lviv, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine, 79000.
The conference program will begin in early afternoon of Sun, June 26 and continue through the evening of Tue, June 28; you may arrive on Sat, June 25; we plan to schedule a city tour on the morning of Sun, June 26.
Registration will open on June 26, at 10:30am in the lobby of the Academic Building (2A Kozelnytska).
The program will feature approximately 150 panels including about 450 presentations. NOTE: There is no planned city tour. With over 500 participants, we decided that a group tour would be too difficult to manage. We apologize for any incovenience.
Participants are responsible for paying for the convention registration and for covering the costs of their own travel and stay in Lviv.
