RE: Expression of interest to participate

Hello Denis,

 

Thank you for submitting this proposal. The program committee will consider it and we'll get back to you.  I wanted to ask, however, will you need a visa to travel to Spain, and if so, do you need a letter of invitation?  

 

Best regards,

Richard.
