All papers written in Slovak or Czech will be included in the Conference Proceedings. Proceedings will be freely available online on our website. Authors of papers/articles written in English will have the opportunity to publish original contributions in the journal Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), which is indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases.
