9:00 am - 11:30 am Workshop 1: How to publish? Presented by: Nemanja Trifunovic - UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (THE NETHERLANDS) A string of impressive publications can propel a young scientist to the next academic stage, whereas an insufficient publication record can derail a career. Publications are the main way scientists publicize their work, and ultimately, it is by their papers that they will be judged. During this workshop the authors, reviewers, and journal editors of the scientific magazines will give you tips and examples.

12:00 am - 2:30 pm Workshop 2: How to present?

Presented by: Olga Tiron - The winner of the best platform presentation of 6th IWA YWP Eastern European Conference (ROMANIA)

Present your paper means communicate it with others. And the way we com-municate dictates a great deal of how successful we are. If you do not have ability to convince others means you will not be heard or seen in many situa-tions. The goal of this workshop is to stimulate your thinking on what it ta-kes for you to be a good communicator when making a scientific presen-tation.

More in this workshop: What to say and how to say it – choice and organisation of the material to be presented Getting through to the audience – presentation style Visual and aural aids – proper use of presentation materials and the microphone Question time

3:00 pm - 5:30 pm Workshop 3: How to apply?

Presented by: Jakub Drewnowski - Gdansk University of Technology(POLAND) The first step in getting any job, placement or internship is to introduce your-self to the employer by sending them a CV or application form. This is the most important stage of the whole application process and it is not an easy one. Summing up your life’s experiences on one page can seem an impossi-ble task. In this workshop we help you through the process by offering ad-vice on how to present yourself effectively and more:

Kalemegdan is the most know sightseeing in Belgrade. It is a hill, a fortress in the old town which name comes from Turkish kale – fortress and megdan – battlefield. The Belgrade Fortress changed and developed throughout the centuries, it saw many armies, was the field of many battles, it witnessed the

brutality of the conquerors and the courage of the tireless defenders of the city. It was the place where Belgrade started to develop. The Fortress was built in stages, during the lengthy period between the 1st and 18th century, from a Roman castrum, through a Byzantine castle and the remains of the medieval capital of the Serb Despotate, all the way to an Austrian-Ottoman artillery fortification. The complex consists of the fortress itself, divided into the Upper Town (Despot’s Gate, Sahat kula - Clock Tower, Roman Well, Statue of the Victor), Lower Town (Nebojša Tower, Amam – Turkish bath, Gate of Charles VI) and the Kalemegdan Park, home to busts of important persons from Serbian history, science and culture. The Belgrade Fortress offers an exciting view of the confluence of Sava and Danube, of New Belgrade and Zemun. You can walk through Kalemegdan park, visit zoo or enjoy in meal or coffe at famous restoran “Kalemegdanska terasa”.

One of the most famous streets in Belgrade is Skadarska. If you are looking for the authentic spirit of Belgrade must visit this bohemian quarter. This ambiental look of Belgrade, still standing to this day, is preserved in the area of Skadarska Street around the bohemian Tri šešira inn. These were small houses, but a few of which remain. The house where the Tri šešira inn stands today is typical, built in the second half of the 19th century, the abode of former bohemians. The aqueduct of the Bulbulder waterway with 14 arches once stood in the middle of the mahala, in front of the subsequently built house of Đura Jakšić, as the sole reminder of times gone by. During the 19th century this used to be the Skadar Gate with the Skadar Drinking–Fountain.

In the second half of the 19th century, the Gipsy settlements slowly vanished and the former sheds were replaced by more sturdy houses accommodating artisans, caterers and petty clerks. The adaptation of Skadarlija began in 1966. In an attempt to retain this part of old Belgrade, a reconstruction and revitalization of Skadarska Street was performed. The goal was to bring back the features this specific ambient once had, to revive tradition and add contemporary new sights. Traffic was eliminated from Skadarlija, a fountain was erected, the old cobbles, lanterns and candelabra were brought back, the Tri šešira, Dva jelena and Skadarlija inns were added to, while the interiors of the Ima dana, Zlatan bokal and Dva bela goluba were remodeled.

Savamala is new cultural and clubing destination. It is a resurrecting elite neighborhood in the heart of Belgrade and the center of the capital’s cultural life, home to several new art galleries and cultural centers. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, showcasing spectacular architectural jewels, such as the Geozavod building, the Bristol hotel, Brankov bridge, as well as many palaces of the Serbian nobility from the 19th century. Savamala is famous about street art. At 6 Pop Lukina Street, there is a wall facing Brankova Street, hidden by a small gas station, a huge portrait of the metropolis devouring the greenery.Within the project “Super Wall”, which was part of Belef 2009, Belgrade became richer by another mural done by a world artist. The mural on Pop Lukina Street shows a negative impact of humanity on the environment – it displays a huge human image, which instead of teeth has buildings and is about to devour a tree, the only painted detail on this black-and-white image. Savamala is also the

ultimate party destination for the young crowds, featuring many of the top trending clubs in Belgrade, such as Brankow, Mladost, Ludost, Lasta and the brand new Peron club. During summertime (from May and on) the Splavis (rafts) in the Sava and Danube rivers are the obvious choise. There are many bars throughout the city so depending on where you are staying, ask your hotel for advice on what is closest. Some local favorites include Guli, Scena Cafe Club, and Gaucosi. The leading Clubs include the hottest place in town in the summer, Freestyler , and the exclusive Mr Stefan Braun, which is located on the pumping ninth floor of an apartment block!

If you want to take a walk and see the architecture of old Belgrade, Knez Mihailova street can be your starting point. Knez Mihailova Street is the favorite city promenade of most Belgradians and lies between Terazije Square and Kalemegdan. It is the main meeting point, easy reachable from every part of the city. As the epicenter of culture and history, Knez Mihailova was named one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in Eastern Europe. During Roman rule, Knez Mihailova was the central point of Singidunum (Latin name for Belgrade) and later under the Turks, it was a street within the fortress walls. By the end of the 19th century its winding streets with gardens, fountains and mosques disappeared, but a new street "coloured" with European spirit had appeared. In 1870 this street was officially named after Serbian Prince Mihailo Obrenović.Up until the 1950s, most of Knez Mihailova Street belonged to a couple of very rich Belgrade families. Dating from the second half of the 19th century, these buildings are easily recognizable by their sumptuous facades, decorated with colorful flowers during summer. In the mid-20th century, Knez Mihailova was the place for the young to meet and flirt, but today it is also the cultural and commercial centre of the city. Until a couple of years ago, Knez Mihailova was the main shopping zone of the city. Although now Belgradians predominantly spend their money in shopping malls, there is something special about shopping in Knez Mihailova.

One of the largest Orthodox churches is located in Belgrade. The Saint Sava Temple (Hram Svetog Save) is the largest Serbian Orthodox church, the largest Orthodox place of worship in the Balkans and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. It is located on the eastern part of the Svetosavski Trg square on the Vračarski Plato in Belgrade. It was raised on the spot where it is thought that in 1595 Sinan-Pasha burned the relics of Saint Sava, founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The church was built in the Serbian-Byzantine style, with four 44 m-high steeples. At its highest point the dome is 70 m in height, while the main gilded cross is an additional 12 m high, giving the Cathedral a total height of 82 m and a height above sea level of 134 m (64 m above the level of the Sava river). For this reason the church occupies a prominent place on Belgrade’s horizon and can be seen from all approaches to the city.

There are numerous ways to experience Belgrade, and literary there is something for everyone. We suggest you to visit one of the most important museums in Belgrade and Europe, the Nikola Tesla Museum. The museum is dedicated to one of the most brilliant scientists in the World, the great inventor Nikola Tesla. He is one of the world's most famous scientists in the fields of physics, electrical and radio engineering. If one could separate and identify the largest Tesla's discoveries that affected our lives the most, then it would be three-phase electricity induction engine and poly-phase system in general. Before the invention of poly-phase, electrical energy was produced near consumers, just a few hundred meters away.

After the construction of Niagara Falls power plant, for the first time in the history of mankind energy was produced in one place and distributed to consumers as needed. The museum is housed in a beautiful building in Vračar, in the center of Belgrade. It contains a large number of the most important documents, objects and inventions, which marked his work. This is definitely a place worth of your visit. One of the most important and exquisite characteristics of Belgrade is the food and beverage culture. Belgradians enjoy sitting in restaurants and cafes, however this activity rarely lasts for just a drink or two because conversation usually includes enjoyment of food, as well. Therefore one thing is sure, you will never be left hungry in Belgrade. Restaurants usually serve unnecessarily large portions of food, still the most common answer to the question what do you like the most in Belgrade is - food! Many Belgrade restaurants are well known after the so-called Serbian cuisine (national cuisine), which consists mainly of meat dishes. Serbian national cuisine also includes number of traditional meals that are not based on meat. Still, we are certain that you won't be able to resist taste of ćevapi prepared here. Serbian cuisine is characterized by highly diverse, solid and spicy food, which can be roughly described as a mixture of Greek, Bulgarian, Turkish and Hungarian cuisine. The use of meat, dough, vegetables and dairy products is predominant in it. Serbian specialties you have to taste are: burek, gibanica, grilled meat, roast, Karađorđeva steak, cabbage rolls, goulash, đuveč (a type of a stew), moussaka, mućkalica (a mixture of different types of meat and vegetables in a form of a stew), čvarci (similar to pork rinds), kaymak, pršuta (dry-cured ham, similar to Prosciutto), and sour milk.Drinking coffee is a centuries-old tradition in Serbia, so you mustn’t miss home-made coffee accompanied by baklava, vanilice or Turkish delight, while the kind hosts will first offer you slatko and water in their homes. A plum, considered a national fruit in Serbia, out of which a well-known rakia – Slivovitz is brewed, has, in a way, become one of the symbols of Serbia. You mustn’t leave Serbia without having at least one glass of it. For many of the Serbian national cuisine specialties there isn’t a right word in the foreign language dictionaries, nor is there a taste they can be compared to. Therefore it is best that you come and taste them yourself. But, before that, you can find stories about Serbian dishes you want to taste on this page, as well as, the recipes for them, because, who knows, you might wish to prepare them yourselves somewhere, miles away from Serbia!

Typically Serbian! It does not take long for foreign visitors to Serbia to discover the hospitality, kindness, openness and warmth of the country’s residents. Shaking hands, done using the right hand, is customary when being introduced or meeting somebody of either gender. Kissing is not a necessity when meeting somebody for the first time, but every time you meet from then on, if you have developed affection for the person in

question, kissing three times on the cheeks is the order of the day in Serbia. Of course, nobody will object if you only kiss once or twice while giving a long and sincere hug. In Serbia, toasts are usually made with traditional rakija (brandy), often home-distilled. Toasts are made by clinking glasses, making direct eye contact and loudly proclaiming “Živeli!” Paying the bill in restaurants is a big part of the Serbian mentality. The host will almost never allow a guest to pay for lunch, dinner or drinks because it is customary for the host to take care of all expenses while a guest is staying with him or her. In contrast to

the rest of Europe, there is no single day of the week in Serbia when you cannot have a night out and that holds true for all generations, for all lifestyles and musical tastes and for all available budgets.
