Venue

Opava is a lovely town situated on the banks of the Opava river that has a rich history and a significant cultural background. Located in the north-east corner of the Czech Republic approximately 400 kms east from Prague, it lies in the heart of the Czech Silesian region of which it is a political and administrative centre.

The lectures of the RAGtime meeting will take place at the "Hradecká" building, while some informal discussions will occur at the "Bezručova" bulding where the Instutute of Physics resides (see Contacts for the full address of both buildings and a map showing the route between them). It is situated on a picturesque square of Petr Bezruč, a famous Czech writer and a native of Opava, which is conviniently located just a short walk from the Opava’s town centre.
