With great pleasure we announce and invite you to the
fourth Biennial ESCLH Conference, which will take place in 2016 in Gdansk – the
Hanseatic city of merchants, the birthplace of Solidarity movement, and the
location of the largest institution of higher education in northern Poland!
Gdansk, together with Gdynia and the seaside resort of
Sopot, creates a metropolitan of over 1 million people. It is a city with a
rich, more than 1,000-year, history, representing a vibrant and modern center of
the dynamically developing Poland.
Gdansk, the Hanseatic city, has been an important
center of international trade since the Middle Ages. The particular merchant
and commercial nature of Gdansk made unusual in this part of Europe. Gdansk
undoubtedly enjoyed a special status in the region as a city situated at the
intersection of cultures and nationalities, where Central and Eastern Europe
meets Western Europe.
Gdansk is the birthplace of the Solidarity movement which under the leadership
of Lech Wałęsa, played a major role in bringing an
end to Communist rule across Central
Europe and the
existence of the Iron Curtain dividing Europe by nearly a half-century.
University of Gdansk is the largest institution of
higher education in northern Poland, With almost 33,000 students in the eleven
faculties and 1,700 academic staff members. The Faculty of Law and Administration
of the University of Gdansk is considered one of the best Law Faculties in
Poland. Our University and Faculty cooperate with many foreign universities and
research institutes around the world.
Gdansk is very well-connected city. Lech Wałęsa
International Airport, with a new terminal
opened ahead of Euro 2012, offers frequent direct flights to London, Paris,
Frankfurt, Munich, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Rome and Berlin.
