The Symposium will take place at ITMO University, in the heart of the city. This location offers excellent transport connections and various dining and leisure options. At the request of participants, we can organize excursions to the university's laboratories and the Museum of Optics.
Transport accessibility
All the main events of the Symposium will take place at 9 Lomonosova Street. This location is a 5-minute walk from the Dostoevskaya and Vladimirskaya metro stations, or a 15-minute walk from either the Nevsky Prospekt or Gostiny Dvor subway stations.
St. Petersburg has earned the reputation of being one of the most beautiful cities in the world thanks not only to its unique palaces and churches, but also to its inimitable architectural ensembles of streets, canals, and squares. St. Petersburg is a city of splendid palaces and beautiful buildings, its most common architectural styles being baroque and classical.
There are more than 90 museums in the city and its surroundings, including the State Hermitage museum - one of the world's leading treasures stores of art. St. Petersburg is the home of the famous Russian classical ballet school, and numerous ballet and opera theaters will be available during Symposium time.
Symposium time is a time of world known White Nights when many cultural events (musical, theatrical and art show) take place here.
