The MODEST 17 conference will be held in the very heart of the
picturesque old Praha (Prague), on the premises of the oldest university
east of Paris and north of the Alps –
Charles University – which was
founded on April 7th, 1348 by Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia Charles
IV. In walking distance from the main building of Charles University,
the majority of the medieval
sightseeing spots of the more than a millennium old Czech capital are
located: the Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock, Charles
Bridge and its beautiful views on both riversides or the Prague
Castle, the symbol of the Czech state through its whole history.
