The Venue

The meeting will be held at the lecture room in the sixth pavilion of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb. The lecture room is equipped with the most sophisticated teaching equipment, and it became operational only at the beginning of this year.

The Faculty

The Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Zagreb was founded in 1919. It is situated at the eastern side of Maksimir, largest park in the city. Being difficult to draw the border between them, the faculty has been overtaken by the peaceful and quiet atmosphere from the park. Birds, squirrels, and other small animals will be your constant companions if you decide to take a walk around the faculty during the breaks of our meeting. Although in such a serene surrounding, the Faculty is very well connected to the urban city area, being just 15 minutes tram ride from city centre.
The faculty comprises of six pavilions and a number of smaller buildings, built since 1919 in order to meet the constant increase of interest in agricultural studies and continuously growing number of students.

The City

Zagreb was probably founded during the XI century, since first documented evidence of its existence dates back to 1094. It was the Capital of Croatia and the seat of both ban (governor) and Sabor (parliament), the royal representatives in Croatia since 1557. That tradition was interrupted on several occasions in history and is renewed in 1991, when Croatia restored its independence and Zagreb again became a capital.
City was severely stroked by fire, flood, or earthquake and had to be reconstructed on several occasions. The latest reconstruction was done in Secession style, which dominates the sights of the city centre.
Today, Zagreb is not only the administrative, but also the industrial, cultural, scientific, and economic centre of Croatia.
