Invitation

Dear SPACE colleagues…

On behalf of the authorities of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, we have a great pleasure in inviting you to participate in the Space Network conference which will take place at the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management of our University in Torun, Poland.

Toruń is the Polish city with the second highest number of retained, authentic historic monuments. The authenticity of the medieval and Gothic skyline of Toruń was one of the main arguments supporting the decision to add Toruń to the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites. A national poll in 2007 chose Toruń’s Old Town as one of the Seven Wonders of Poland. Toruń is also famous as a place where the great astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born. We are also proud of the traditional ginger bread which has been produced here since the XVI century.

The Nicolaus Copernicus University is one if the best and biggest Polish universities, joining the tradition and modernity. That is why we had an idea to organize one of the conference days and to visit EXEA – the biggest START-UP’s Centre in our country.

We cannot wait to welcome you in our beautiful town.

Be our guest and enjoy our common stay here!!!
