Satellite activities
Satellite Thematic Sessionsorganised by the 6ECM participants will be held on Sunday 1 July 2012 and Saturday 7 July 2012 (all day) and on the afternoons during the congress in the buildings of the AGH University, very close to the 6ECM venue. Proposals for the Satellite Thematic Sessions can be submitted until 30 April 2012 via a webform at the 6ECM website.
Women in Mathematics
Following tradition, just before the 6ECM on 1 July a meeting of European Women in Mathematics will be held at the 6ECM venue.
Satellite Conferences
There are many satellite conferences planned around the time and in the geographical proximity of the 6ECM. A list of the satellite conferences can be found at the 6ECM website.
Promotion and Exhibitions
At the 6ECM there will be many opportunities to promote mathematical societies and other organisations, such as publishers and companies related to mathematical research and education (including software, mathematical games, etc.). Possible promotional opportunities include:
- an exhibition stand in the exhibition hall at the conference venue;
- distribution of promotional printed material by including them among the 6ECM materials that will be distributed to the participants;
- advertisements in the conference programme booklet, which will be distributed to the participants;
- display of company logos and/or advertisements on a screen in the main lobby of the conference venue;
- mention of companies as sponsors of the 6ECM on the 6ECM website (link „sponsors“) and in the conference programme booklet.
Social Programme
Social and cultural programmes, promoting informal contacts between congress participants and contact with the rich cultural heritage of Kraków, will be important components of the 6ECM. Included are a welcome reception on Monday 2 July, a conference dinner on Wednesday 4 June and guided sightseeing of Kraków. Excursions to the tourist attractions in the vicinity of Kraków will be offered at an extra charge for half days on Tuesday and Thursday and the whole day on Saturday.
The Accompanying Persons Programme includes the welcome reception, beverages and cookies during the breaks, the conference banquet, guided sightseeing in Kraków and assistance in arranging an individual sightseeing and cultural programme.

How to get to Kraków?
John Paul II International Airport Kraków – Balice is located 11 km from the city centre. It takes 20 minutes by shuttle train to get from the airport to the centre. There are several direct, regular connections to European airports, as well as some overseas connections. Low-fare airlines maintain connections to many European destinations.
