ABOUT HELSINKI
Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is a Nordic, western-European city with a highly developed infrastructure and some of the world’s leading high-tech capabilities. Of all Europe’s capitals, Helsinki is probably the closest to nature. The city boasts well-preserved islands, beautiful bays and broad green areas that reach right into the city centre.
Helsinki is easy to reach. The international airport, which is ranked first in the world for comfort and service, is located 20 km from the centre of Helsinki. Helsinki is also an excellent base for short trips to Lapland and Finland’s Lake District. The neighbouring countries are easy to get to – there are good air and ship connections to Stockholm, Tallinn and St. Petersburg.
The conference coincides with the yearly Helsinki Festival, the most diverse event in the Finnish cultural calendar. In its current programme (2002), the Festival offers major symphonic works, the finest baroque orchestras, world music, visiting dance and theatre companies, and the most interesting names in visual art and cinema.
