The conference will be held in the birth place of Nicolaus Copernicus, and also in one of the most beautiful cities in Poland, whose architecture is distinguished by numerous Gothic buildings (e.g. Old Town Hall, St. John’s Cathedral, the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, numerous tenement houses and fragments of defensive walls and gates, e.t.c.). The artistic and historical value of these monuments meant that in 1997 the old town in Toruń was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
