Location:
The 19th Conference EnviroInfo will be hosted by Centre of Biostatics and Analyses Masaryk University in Brno. Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic, with a population of almost 400 000 and the country's judiciary and trade-fair center. The first written note of Brno comes from the ninth century. City rights were acquired in 1243. After successful defense of the city against the Swedes 350 years ago (in 1643-45 during the Thirty Years' War), Brno became the capital of Moravia. The nineteenth century was a period of technological progress and development for Brno. It became one of the most prominent industrial centers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was in Brno where J. G. Mendel discovered his laws of heredity, V. Kaplan produced the first water turbine and Leos Janacek composed his musical works. Milan Kundera wrote his first novels here. Brno is the place of birth of Kurt Godel - one of the most important scientists of the 20th century in the world context. There are six Universities in Brno.
