Conference VenueThe Conference will be held at the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (http://www.vtu.lt/english/vgtu/) in Vilnius, Lithuania. Lithuania (http://neris.mii.lt/) is a small, beautiful country lying on the south eastern coast of the Baltic Sea and inhabited by one of the Baltic nations. The Lithuanians have preserved one of the oldest language, a unique culture and unique customs. Vilnius (http://www.vilnius.sav.lt/tourism/) is the capital of Lithuania. It is a city that has to be explored. A day walking through the narrow, winding streets will give you a lot of impression. There is plenty to see. Masterpieces of local gothic, baroque and classicism, Gediminas Castle, folk art, museums, monuments of the former Soviet Empire, restful cafes, swinging bars, modern night clubs, handsome and imposing restaurants. The largest Old Town in Eastern Europe gives you the feeling that you are walking through a museum, for practically every building is a relic of a sort. 27 km from Vilnius lays the ancient capital of Lithuania Trakai (http://www.tourism.lt/region/vilnius/trakai.htm). The Trakai Castle, an original relic of the Middle Ages, has survived on one of the islands on the Galve Lake to this day. 100 km from Vilnius lays the Lithuania's second largest city Kaunas (http://www.kaunas.lt/english/). There is a number of interesting museums, such as the Ciurlionis Museum with an exposition of more than 200 canvases by the great Lithuanian artist M.K. Ciurlionis, the exposition of folk "devil" sculptures, and the IXth Fort Museum, a memorial to the victims of fascism. Contact Address |
