The conference will take place in Cracow, Poland, on September 16-18, 2026. Cracow is an old town of Polish kings from the Piast and Jagiellonian dynasties. The city was mentioned for the first time in a document in 965. Between 1038 and 1596, Cracow was the formal capital of Poland. The royal castle, a pearl of the European Renaissance, is located on Wawel Hill. The first university in Poland was founded in Cracow in 1364. Later on, this university was named Jagiellonian to commemorate the founding dynasty. The world's largest Gothic altar, 11 m wide and 13 m high, sculpted in 1477-1489 in linden wood by the master Wit Stwosz (also known as Veit Stoss), can be found in Saint Mary's Basilica. Many historical monuments to the culture of Polish Jews have been preserved in the Kazimierz district.
