Gala dinner
The conference gala dinner will be held on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, at Folwark Zalesie, a historic manor situated in a tranquil rural setting in southern Poland, approximately 25 km from Krakow. The venue is located on an elevated site, offering panoramic views of the surrounding natural landscape, which provides a distinguished backdrop for an official conference event.
Folwark Zalesie represents a thoughtful integration of regional architectural heritage with contemporary standards of comfort and service. The complex comprises several well-appointed dining and banquet spaces, enabling flexible arrangements suitable for formal academic gatherings. Particular emphasis is placed on high-quality service and cuisine based on regional and seasonal products.
Transportation to the banquet venue will be provided for all participants, with organized transfers from Krakow and a guaranteed return to the city following the event. By selecting this location, the organizers aim to present conference participants not only with the cultural and historical richness of Krakow, but also with the natural and architectural heritage of the wider Małopolska region, thereby enriching the overall conference experience.
Cultural event
Conference participants will be invited to a special visit to a unique cultural venue in Krakow that explores the role of engineering and technology in shaping modern society. The visit will offer an opportunity to reflect on the evolution of engineering thought, design, and problem-solving through curated installations and interactive elements. The relaxed environment will provide an excellent setting for informal discussion, interdisciplinary exchange, and networking.
The event will take place in the evening on Monday, 21 September 2026. Further details will be announced at a later stage.
