Venue and Location
Venue
The conference will be held at the Hotel Galant, Mikulov. It is a modern hotel, win- ner of the E.ON Energy Globe Award for its optimisation of energy utilisation and reuse of CO2 produced in its winery and brewery. Mikulov city is a historical site. The rst written record of it dates back to 1173. In the 17th century, Mikulov trans- formed from a small provincial town into the most important town in Moravia at that time. Its new appearance was inspired by Italian renaissance architecture. Lat- er on, however, this promising development was stopped by the Turkish and Hun- garian wars and the destructive res of 1663 and 1719. The town’s geographical location made it a place where cultural and religious currents and various ethnic groups came together, and their legacy can be clearly seen in the town to this day.
