Tallinn
is the capital of the Republic
of Estonia and the home of the Estonian Marine Institute, University
of Tartu. Tallinn has a population of 500,000 and offers a
range of cultural and recreational opportunities prior to, during,
and after the congress. The city is situated on the southern coast
of the Gulf of Finland, just 80 km from Helsinki. Tallinn is
easily accessible by ferries from Helsinki and Stockholm, by bus,
train or car. Tallinn has a modern airport served by SAS, Finnair,
Estonian Air and other companies directly or via Copenhagen,
Helsinki, Frankfurt, London, Moscow.
Citizens of the most of European countries, USA, Canada and many
other countries do not need entry visa.
By 2004, Estonia will probably be a member of EU. However, prices
will still be lower than in current EU countries, which hopefully
will increase the number of participating students and
participants from Eastern Europe.
