The symposium will be held in the city of Ufa - a large industrial, scientific and cultural center of Russia, located near the Ural Mountains. The climate in this region is mild; a day temperature in August does not exceed 25°C; the weather is usually sunny and windless. The participants of the symposium will be able to observe the natural beauty of the picturesque landscape of this region.

  The city lies upon a peninsula of sorts occupying an elevated plateau encompassed from the three sides by the Belaya, the Ufa and the Dyoma rivers. The guests will have an opportunity to go by ship down the famous Belaya River during the Welcome party and to enjoy the national cuisine during the banquet.

The headquarters of the symposium will be the Congress Hall that was initially called the Peoples' Friendship House. The unique and architecturally exciting project was erected for the celebrations of the 450th anniversary of Bashkiria's voluntary entry into Russia. This is a unique social and cultural centre and a shopping mall.

Visitors to the Congress Hall will get a majestic view of the Aghidel and the natural scenery beyond the river. The ravine slopes possess multi-level pathways pleasant to walk along, decorated with lawns and trees.

The path to the monument is lined with new lamps and restyled benches.
