IWSSIP'2004 will be held in Poznan, a city halfway between Berlin and Warsaw, but older than both of them. Beginning as a fortified village in the 10th century, Poznan became the capital of Poland and the residence of the first two Polish kings. Poland's first cathedral was erected here in 968. The town flourished as a European trade center during the 15th and 16th centuries, but later its prosperity declined due to fires and wars. Rebuilt after World War II the Poznań of today covers an area of approximately 240 square kilometers and is inhabited by approximately 600,000 people. It is the administrative and economic centre of Wielkopolska, one of the highest economically developed regions in Poland.
