arrive at a major road junction in a large square with multiple pedestrian crossings. Do not worry: you passed the right turn by only
200 m. At the junction turn right (toward “Vasútállomás”
- railway station), and take the first street on your right. You will pass a
little bridge over a creek, and will see Hotel Jogar
on your left before arriving at the next corner.

can be followed by GPS.
ABSTRACTS
The
final list of abstracts mapped to the schedule can be
downloaded from here: Final
list of abstracts.
The
book of abstracts is not going to be printed. The online version listing the
abstracts in alphabetic order of the last name of the presenting author is
available at http://services.chm.unipg.it/ojs/index.php/virtlcomm
as the 24th issue of the journal.
With
Professor Laganŕ we plan to collect the extended
abstracts from the participants wishing to write one and publish them as
another volume of VIRT&L-COMM, see below.
As
a courtesy of Antonio Laganŕ, the (optionally
extended) abstracts will be published in OJS
VIRT&L-COMM .
The
online journal OJS VIRT&L-COMM was established 10 years ago within the
European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) project and is part of the European Open
Science Cloud initiative. It is specialized in reporting activities of the
virtual Open Molecular Science community members. As Editor-in-chief of
VIRT&L-COMM, Prof. Laganŕ offers to the
participants of the XVIth QRS workshop the
possibility to publish the abstracts of communications presented at the meeting
in a special issue of the journal, such as Vol. 8.
The abstracts will first be made
available in the Journal about a week before the Workshop. At a later time
after the conference, the extended abstracts will be published on
VIRT&L-COMM probably in a special issue. No charges will be levied for the
publication of the communications.
The preferred format of
abstracts is MS Word. The length should be between 1000 and 10000 characters
(plus figures and references). Abstract templates will be sent to participants
after registration.
VIRT&L-COMM is referenced by
Google Scholar.
The
abstract deadline was August 1, 2022 .

SOME GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT HUNGARY
MONEY
The
official currency is the Forint or HUF. When changing money, beware that the
rates and commission varies quite widely. In major stores and gas stations Euro
(cash) is accepted, generally at a rate 20 HUF or even about 50 HUF lower than
the official exchange rate. Credit cards are extensively accepted in hotels,
restaurants, stores and public transportation ticket machines. There are also a
number of ATMs where you can get HUF cash with your card.
The
approximate exchange rate is 1 Euro=400 HUF (fluctuates by as much as 20 HUF in
2022). (For the actual rates see the Official
National Bank rates .)
The
colors of different denominations of banknotes are: ruby for 500, blue for
1000, tan for 2000, brown-and-yellow for 5000, maroon-and-orange for 10000 and
mostly green for 20000.
The
valid Forint coins are the copper-in-nickel 200 and 100, the nickel 50, the
copper 20, the nickel 10 and the copper 5.
ADDRESSES
Hungarian
addresses consist of the following data, in this order:
1. the
postal code + town/city (+district number; in
2. street
name + building number
3. floor
and apartment number (Roman numerals, pls. note that the ground floor is the zeroth.)
