On this page, we present a list of conferences and workshops where the project and its results have been presented. Each entry includes a link to the slides presented during the event or to an interactive poster presentation.
Marie Skłodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship Grant Application Workshop
This workshop, attended by around 35 participants, focused on how to prepare a successful MSCA proposal. We presented our project and shared our experience with the application process, contributing to the discussion by providing insights into key aspects of the fellowship. Our successful proposal was also used as a case study and reference point during the workshop, serving as a practical example for future applicants

Rubin Observatory Project & Community Workshop
The Rubin Observatory Project & Community Workshop is the central annual meeting of the international Rubin/LSST community, bringing together several hundred scientists, engineers, and data specialists. The purpose of the workshop is to coordinate preparations for the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), exchange expertise across working groups, and strengthen collaboration between the project team and the broader scientific community. For our project were especially important sessions of Galaxy Consorcium and the LSB working group.

XX Serbian Astronomical Conference
The Serbian Astronomical Conference is held every three years and brings together researchers and students from Serbia, neighboring countries, and the wider international community. It provides a platform for sharing current astrophysical research and fostering regional collaborations. At the 20th edition, we presented our results on galaxy mergers and highlighted our ongoing collaboration with Serbian colleagues. Within our project, we make use of the Serbian 1.4 m Milanković telescope to study low surface brightness features in galaxies, important tracers of their merger history. Participation in the conference thus not only disseminated our results but also strengthened our scientific links within the region.

IAU Symposium 403 'The Hidden Beauty of the Galactic Outskirts’
IAU Symposia are prestigious international conferences that bring together leading experts in specific fields of astronomy. Symposium 403 will focus on the outskirts of galaxies, including stellar halos, tidal structures, and other low surface brightness features – topics directly relevant to our project. We are scheduled to give a contributed talk on the first conference day. This will provide an excellent opportunity to present our results to a specialized audience, receive expert feedback, and further integrate our work into the international community studying galaxy formation and evolution.
