Welcome to the Graz 2007
Website!
This is the place to get information on the 15th annual meeting of Kangourou Sans Frontières in
Graz,
Austria
from
October
18th-21st, 2007.
The meeting has now come and gone. Thank you to everyone who helped make
it so successful. Fortunately, we were able to greet everyone in Graz after
overcoming numerous visa-related problems, and everyone was able to make it
home safely.
INTRODUCTORY TEXT
Several participants have stated that they are interested in the introductory
texts as presented at the opening meeting. You can download them here.
STAMPS
Special stamps with the logo of the conference were
produced through the expertise of Konrad Ehgartner. These are real postage stamps, with a face value of € 0.55
that could be used on regular mail. Since they
were specially produced for our conference, they were more expensive than regular stamps and sold
for € 2 each. Unfortunately, they are no longer available.
