A Glimpse of Tallinn

Tallinn is Estonia’s capital, and with a population of just over 440,000, it’s by far the nation’s largest city. The first mention of Tallinn in recorded history was in 1154. Tallinn’s Old Town was entered on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in 1997 as an „exceptionally complete and well preserved example of a medieval northern European trading city“. Today’s Tallinn is a rapidly developing compact city, with major landmarks, convention facilities and hotels within walking distance. Named Lonely Planet’s Best Value Destination of 2018, it is an interesting blend of old and new.

The small size is a huge advantage when it comes to navigating your way around with ease. In fact, its city centre so compact that most hotels, venues, restaurants and sights are within easy walking distance of one another. Instead of hassling with trams, buses, taxis or transfers to get from A to B, you’ll most likely be taking a quick stroll or a bike ride.                  

The conference venue is Tallinn University Campus. Tallinn University campus facilities will be used for all conference events, such as paper sessions, workshops, doctoral consortium and art exhibition. The compact campus is located in the city centre and consists of 6 main buildings, all connected to each other. The old main building was constructed in 1938 and is now under heritage protection because of its unique era-specific architecture. Most of the campus was built since mid 2000s and offers top modern facilities, such as auditoriums for up to 350 people as well as convenient seminar rooms for small groups.
