VENUE

The symposium will be held in the city of Ufa - a large industrial, scientific and cultural center of Russia, located near the Ural Mountains. The climate in this region is mild; a day temperature in the middle of August does not exceed 25°C; the weather is usually sunny and windless. The participants of the symposium will be able to observe the natural beauty of the picturesque landscape of this region, often called "the second Switzerland". The city lies upon a peninsula of sorts, occupying an elevated plateau encompassed from the three sides by the Belaya, the Ufa and the Dyoma rivers. The guests will have an opportunity to go by ship down the famous Belaya River during the Welcome party and to enjoy the national cuisine during the banquet.

The headquarters of the symposium will be The Trade Union House, located in the administrative center of Ufa near the comfortable hotel Bashkortostan****. A congress hall with the seating capacity of more than 450 people and conversation rooms will be provided for the symposium. The halls are radiofied, equipped with the system of high-level ventilation and multimedia technology.

The symposium participants will be accommodated in the best city hotels, e.g. Bashkortostan**** (recommended), Azimuth***, Aghidel***, etc. Special shuttle buses will carry non-resident participants of the conference from the airport and railway station to the place of accommodation in Ufa.
