Helsinki, the capital of Finland, has gained a reputation as an attractive host city for various international meetings. It is famous for its architecture and its central area beautifully situated on a peninsula surrounded by the sea. The city-centre campus of the University of Helsinki is the congress site and the main shopping areas, restaurants and sights are near by. Helsinki also offers a wide range of cultural events in the summer. More information about the host city is available from the Helsinki City Tourist Bureau.

We look forward to seeing you in Helsinki!
