VENUE AND HOST CITY
The Institute of Scientific Instruments, The Czech Academy of Science was founded in 1957 and its activity is based on the legacy of prof. Aleš Bláha and prof. Armin Delong. The institute succeeded in the development of the electron microscope BS242 obtaining the gold medal on the World Exposition EXPO 58 in Brusel.
Brno is a statutory city, with its area about 230 km2 and 390,000 inhabitants it is the second-largest city in the Czech Republic. Brno is the political and cultural hub of the South Moravian Region. The Brno metropolitan area has almost 700,000 inhabitants.
Brno is the important centre of university education with 29 faculties at ten universities and other high schools with almost 65,000 students. Thanks to the information technologies development Brno is called “Czech” or “Moravian” Silicon Valley.
Nearly the third of the world production of electron microscopies is produced in Brno. Number of institutions and companies in Brno deal with the research, development, and production of electron microscopes. Among them, outstanding positions belong to The Institute of Scientific Instruments and by the companies Thermo Fisher Scientific, TESCAN and Delong Instruments.
Brno Exhibition Grounds have been organizing the significant international exhibitions and fairs since 1928, the greatest one is the International Engineering Fair. Brno is also well known as the place of great motor races with the tradition from the 1930s. The Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix is one of the most prestigious races taking place on the Masaryk Circuit. Another event in Brno is the abundantly visited international show of fireworks Ignis Brunensis held since 1998.
