We invite you to attend Kyiv, one of the most beautiful cities of Europe, where ancient history seamlessly blends with a vibrant modern energy. It is home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and St. Sophia Cathedral, alongside such iconic landmarks as the Golden Gate, St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery, and Khreshchatyk Street. The city’s landscape is defined by the Dnipro River, characterized by its scenic bridges and extensive parklands, which provide a distinguished setting for its many historic churches and world-class theaters.

Today’s Kyiv is a dynamic metropolitan hub—a center for hundreds of successful startups and a major venue for international cultural and scientific events. The city is home to prestigious academic institutions and universities that are at the forefront of global materials science research.

Above all, Kyiv is the Capital of Freedom. It stands as a powerful symbol of Ukrainian bravery and indomitable spirit in the face of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Visiting Kyiv today is not just about attending a conference; it is an opportunity to witness the resilience and perseverance of a nation defending its values. The hotels for accommodation of conference participants are also located close to the place of conference. Accommodation cost is 60-200 EURO depending on lodging comfort.
