The congress sessions will be held both in Wrocław and, on a chosen day, in Opole. There will be no need to change the place of residence for the participants of the congress, because Opole is only 90 km away from Wrocław, and thanks to the motorway, the journey between these cities takes about 90 minutes. The session in Opole is scheduled for September 1st and afterwards, we will return to Wrocław the same evening.
The inaugural and closing sessions of the congress are planned to be held in Wrocław. We would like to hold the first of them in one of the rooms in the main building of the University of Wrocław, which is considered to be a pearl of the Silesian Baroque.
Thanks to this solution, participants of the congress will have an opportunity to become acquainted with two cities with a long, interesting history with numerous monuments and museums. Both are historical and modern administrative centres of Silesia, although there is a considerable difference between them in terms of their size and the number of inhabitants. Wrocław covers an area of nearly 300 km2 and, according to unofficial estimates, there are more than 900,000 people living in the city proper, and 1.25 million people living in the entire agglomeration. Opole occupies an area half the size and has 125,000 inhabitants. The history of both of these cities dates back to the 9th century, both have interesting old towns, which includes particularly interesting buildings such as town halls – one in Wrocław with a medieval history, and the neo-Renaissance one in Opole. The most valuable monuments in both cities are churches, especially cathedrals.

Participants of the Congress can travel to Wrocław by plane, train or car. Wrocław Airport, which is located 10 km from the city centre, has permanent mergers with Warsaw, Munich, Frankfurt and Amsterdam (LOT, Lufthansa and KLM). In chosen weekdays they are interfacing carried with cities of other European countries (Ryanair, Wizzair). You can also fly to Warsaw airports and come to Wrocław by train. The journey from Warsaw to Wrocła by Express train takes about 4 hours. The main railway station is Wrocław Central Station to the south of the city center. The main east-west A4 motorway runs south of the city and connecting it with Berlin and Dresden in the west and Katowice in the east; two other motorway S5 and S8 run in the direction of Poznań and Warsaw.
