The Conference will take place at the Prague Congress Centre.
Prague, capital city of the Czech Republic, is known for its Old Town Square, the heart of its historic core, with colorful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock, which gives an animated hourly show. The City of a Hundred Spires on the Vltava River ranks among the most beautiful cities in Europe.
Prague's location in the heart of Europe makes the city easily accessible to travelers from almost every country. Prague has always been a crossroad of the most important trading routes, as well as a cultural and political center of Europe. One of its major landmarks, Charles Bridge, symbolizes the historical connection between the East & West that made Prague a place where elements of Slavic, German, Italian, and Jewish cultures merged to create a picturesque city with a unique, magical atmosphere. Prague also became an important university center which gave the world a number of personalities without whose discoveries and inventions we could hardly imagine our lives today - contact lenses, screw-propeller or nanofibers.
One of the safest destinations with a great infrastructure offers a variety of different venues. The city has a long tradition in hosting significant international meetings. Thanks to all the changes in recent years, today the Prague Congress Centre offers a unique, meaningful and quality premises for every congress, congress, concert, company event or exhibition.
