Conference Venue
The 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 southeast=
ern
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 walki=
ng
through a museum, for practically every building is a relic of a sort. 27 k=
m
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 th=
e
Galve Lake to this day. 100 km from Vilnius lays the Lithuania's second lar=
gest
city Kaunas (http://www.kaunas.lt/english/). You may visit in Kaunas a lot =
of
interesting museums, such as the Ciurlionis Museum with an exposition of mo=
re
than 200 canvases by the great Lithuanian artist M.K. Ciurlionis, the expos=
ition
of folk "devil" sculptures, and the IXth Fort Museum, a memorial to the vic=
tims
of fascism.
Looking forward to receiving a paper submission from you, next April. Don't
hesitate contacting us should you have any questions.
