Prague,
Czech Republic, March 12-14, 2006
Situated in the very heart of Europe, Prague is like
one big open air museum. Walking through Prague is like walking through
history. Everywhere you look a story can be told. Hardly anywhere in the world
you’ll find a better preserved city centre than Prague’s. In the heart of that
centre is the Staromestske Square, where you can stand and admire the
surroundings. The beautiful St. Nicalas church, the Old City’s town hall with
its famous astronomical clock, the Kinsky Palace, where Franz Kafka went to
school and where his father had a shop on the ground floor. Cross the Karluv
bridge into Mala Strana, where Hradcany Castle is situated. From there you
have the most wonderful view of this breathtaking city.
You could say that Prague consists of two parts. On the right side of the
river is the old town, Franz Kafka’s Prague, Prague of the jewish community,
Czech Pargue. On the left side of the river baroque catholic Prague, the
Prague with its palaces of the gentry, Prague with its many monasteries and
churches.
The Conference will take place at the
Diplomat
Hotel. The Organizing Committee after negotiations achieved a special
price of 130EU per room per night.
