Welcome It is our 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.

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.
