honour to cordially invite you to the XXI World Congress IMEKO,
which is to be held in Prague in 2015. Prague, the capital of the
Czech Republic, is a historic gem on the river Vltava. As a
fundamental part of the historical development of Europe, the
monuments show the many different architectural styles. Last but
not least, Prague is a highly cultural city and the home to many
scientific and cultural institutions, museums, art galleries and
several universities. The Czech Technical University (CTU) is the
oldest technical university in Central Europe. World Congress IMEKO
is returning to Prague after twenty-eight years. I believe that the
21 st Congress will be just as successful as the Congress held in
1985. World Congress IMEKO represents the summit of leading
researchers and practitioners who deal with measurement technology
in various fields. The motto of the XXI Congress is therefore
Measurement in Research and Industry. Venue The IMEKO Congress will
be held in the Prague Congress Centre, a venue with easy access to
many hotels in near vicinity. With the subway located within just 2
minute walking distance from the venue, the very heart of the city
can be reached in a matter of minutes. Prague Congress Centre
5.kvetna 65 140 21 Prague 4 Czech Republic The Czech Republic The
Czech Republic is a rather small but charming country situated in
the very heart of Europe. Since medieval times it has been a
crossroad of intellectual, artistic and culinary influences but
also a centre of discord. After long isolation caused by the
communist regime, Czechs are becoming varied ethnically, nationally
and culturally, proving the growing globalization tendencies. This
also reflects in its cuisine. Locals enjoy both traditional dishes
such as goulash and the new hip Vietnamese Pho soup alike. Still,
the most traditional meeting spot remains to be in a pub where you
can have a glass of some of the best and most famous beer in the
world. Despite the small land area, the Czech landscape is highly
diverse - from mountains creating natural borders in all directions
to the fertile scenic lowland in South Moravia. The Czech Republic
has a moderate continental climate, with warm summers and cold and
snowy winters. The temperature between seasons differs highly due
to the landlocked geographical position. Bohemia, the official name
of the region, derives from the Celtic tribe Boii; who were the
first inhabitants of the place we now call Bohemia. There is also
definite evidence that the area was once occupied by the Slavs in
the 6th century A.D. The long and rich history of Bohemia and
Moravia can be traced through Samos Empire, the Great Moravia, the
reign of the Premysls, the Luxemburg and Habsburg dynasties, the
Catholic expansion leading to the Thirty year war. The decline of
the Austro-Hungarian Empire led to the birth of the Czechoslovakia
Republic. After surviving the German occupation during 2nd World
War and forty years of communism, the totalitarian regime
symbolically ended in one day - by Velvet Revolution in November
1989. After years of being persecuted, the writer and philosopher
Vaclav Havel became president with a democratic vision. The Czech
Republic and Slovakia have parted ways peacefully on January 1,
1993. As one of many historical paradoxes, the process of
convergence with the European Community started soon after and
culminated injoining the European Union on May 1, 2004. Many Czech
personalities have become famous throughout the world - Holy Roman
Emperor Charles IV, has took a significant role in European
history. Masterpieces of composers Bedrich Smetana, Antonin Dvorak
and Leos Janacek are still played worldwide. Novels written by
mysterious Franz Kafka and innovating Karel Capek are timeless.
Voice of opera singer Emma Destinn is still impressive. The Czech
Republic is also a producer of globally famous athletes such as
football player Petr Cech, ice hockey star Jaromir Jagr and
Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova along with Olympic medalist speed
skater Martina Sablikova. Many towns and historical monuments are
registered as UNESCO world cultural landmarks: Kutna Hora, Cesky
Krumlovjust to name a few. Terezin is also often explored by
tourists, but unfortunately its history is stained by war. Once a
fort town from the end of the 18th century, it was transformed by
Nazis into a Jewish ghetto during the war. Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad)
and Marianske Lazne (Marienbad) are glowing assets of the Czech
Republic due to the existence of curative mineral spring spas.
Jachymov, another town in the countryside, is well known for its
rare radioactive springs. Money Czech official currency is Koruna,
often translated as Crown. Although the country hasnt transferred
to Euro yet (unlike many other countries of the European Union) it
is possible to use it as a payment method in most restaurants and
shops. Payment by credit card is an equally widely spread option
and most of the hospitality spots enable this kind of payment. ATM
machines are accessible on every corner, however, we recommend
checking the bank fees beforehand. In case you decide to exchange
money in one of the exchange offices in Prague, wed suggest
checking the rates and commissions carefully, as they may differ by
company. The recommended exchange office with reliable rates is one
called Exchange. Rates suggested by the national bank of Czech
Republic are listed on this webpage.Exchangethis Prague The capital
city of the Czech Republic is poetically considered as the heart of
the European continent. The history is deeply rooted in every
building and you can feel the cultural spirit in every step.
Different architectural styles have been preserved throughout the
wars and years of communist era and so the visitors may compose
their own image of Prague. With the Prague castle, the largest
historical complex on one side facing the Dancing house
representing the contemporary architecture tendencies on the other
side, visitors are easily carried away on a historical
rollercoaster. Prague is not only a city of historical monuments,
but also a city for living, where culture is an integral part of
things. It is not surprising to find that it has been a source of
inspiration for famous Prague residents and personalities, such as
Einstein, Kafka, Mozart, van Beethoven. Prague transportation The
